The Zimmer Biomet A.L.P.S. Distal Tibia Plating System represents the next generation in anatomic plate design. It combines the benefits of low-profile titanium plate metallurgy with the advantages of multiplanar locked screw technology. These features allow the formation of a three dimensional matrix of fixed and variable angle screws to create a true subchondral scaffold that can provide strong fixation in comminuted fractures or osteopenic bone. The Medial Locking Plate is indicated for: The Zimmer Biomet A.L.P.S. Distal Tibia Plating System features Type 2 Anodized Titanium Alloy...

A.L.P.S. Distal Tibia Plating System Figure 1 When planning to treat a distal tibia fracture surgically using plates, application of a spanning external fixator should be performed as soon as possible. Staged Protocol Suggested by Surgeon Design Team Portable Traction When planning to treat a distal tibia fracture surgically using plates, application of a spanning external fixator should be performed as soon as possible (Figure 1). Pin placement distally is dependent on the type of frame employed. Proximally placed tibial pins should be away from planned incisions to avoid pin tracts...

Figure 2 One of three surgical approaches can be used. An example of an Antero-Medial approach. Surgical Approaches Approaches include an antero-medial incision, a standard anterior incision, or the lateral Böhler approach. When plating the fibula through a standard lateral approach, the surgeon should identify the tibial incision first to avoid narrow skin bridges between the two incisions. Begin at the level of the distal shaft of the tibia, just lateral to the anterior crest, and continue distally as far as needed, staying medial to the anterior tibial tendon. Take the skin together with...
