AxSOS 3 Ti Distal Tibia
Plating System
Monoaxial locking plate system for treating distal tibia fractures.
Plating that fits.
We understand the importance of a well-fitting implant. An implant that fits may reduce OR time, may decrease fracture malalignment, and potentially reduce patient discomfort, especially in areas such as the distal tibia where there is little soft tissue coverage.
Low profile plate designed to minimize screw prominence
Patented locking screw head design helps ease extraction1
May allow for a less rigid construct, potentially resulting in increased callus formation and secondary healing2
Provides increased CT imaging clarity3
Offers excellent biocompatibility4,5
- 4 rafting screws close to articular surface
- 2.7mm/3.5mm cortical screws used in the distal extension
- Kickstand screw designed to capture medial malleolus
- Designed to minimize screw prominence
- Diverging screw trajectories in parallel plane
