Reconstruction Plate

The characteristics of a Y-shaped reconstruction plate generally include the following:

Shape and Design: It is designed in a “Y” shape to accommodate specific anatomical configurations, often used for complex fractures or osteotomies requiring fixation in multiple directions, such as the calcaneus or pelvis.

Material: Made of high-quality stainless steel or titanium, providing biocompatibility and corrosion resistance.

Screw Holes: Multiple holes along the plate legs for the insertion of fixation screws, providing angular stability or compression, depending on the type of screw used (locking or non-locking).

Dimensions: Can vary in thickness, width, and hole spacing to accommodate different bone sizes and fracture types. For example, a Y-shaped reconstruction plate might be 2.0 mm thick, 9.6 mm wide, and have a 12.0 mm hole spacing, and be designed for 3.5 mm screws.

Applications: Used for internal fixation of fractures, osteotomies, or arthrodesis in areas such as the calcaneus, pelvis (especially the acetabulum), or distal fibula.
