Ø3.5MM Sidewinder LCP

The Ø3.5mm Sidewinder Locking Compression Plate (LCP) is a uniquely designed implant intended for fixation of complex fractures, particularly in anatomically challenging areas such as the distal fibula and lateral malleolus. Its distinctive "sidewinder" shape offers enhanced distal fragment capture and support, allowing for secure fixation of small or comminuted bone fragments.

Manufactured from high-strength stainless steel or titanium alloy, this plate combines locking screw technology with a pre-contoured design that closely follows the lateral anatomy of the fibula. The plate's combi-holes accommodate both locking and cortical screws, providing versatility in surgical fixation methods.

Its low-profile and anatomically adaptive shape help reduce soft tissue irritation, making it suitable for minimally invasive or open procedures.

• Distal Fibula Fractures
• Simple, oblique, transverse, and comminuted fractures
• Fractures with small distal fragments requiring enhanced fixation
• Lateral Malleolus Fractures
• AO/OTA Type 44-B and 44-C fractures involving the distal fibula
• Periarticular Fractures
• Fractures near the ankle joint with small or fragile distal fragments
• Osteoporotic Fractures
• Cases requiring angular stable fixation for weak bone quality
• Nonunions and Malunions
• Revision surgeries for previously failed or malaligned distal fibula fractures
• Ankle Fractures with Syndesmotic Injuries
• In conjunction with syndesmotic stabilization for enhanced lateral support

• Available in Titanium alloy
• Fixation with 3.5MM locking head screws and 3.5MM cortex screws.
