Product Information

The lower extremity portfolio offers the advantages of locked plating with the flexibility and benefits of traditional plating in one system. Utilizing both locking and non-locking screws, PERI-LOC offers a construct that resists angular (e.g. varus/valgus) collapse while simultaneously acting as an effective aid to fracture reduction. A simple and straightforward instrument set features one screwdriver, standardized drill bits, and color-coded instrumentation, making PERI-LOC efficient and easy to use.

• Anatomically contoured locking plates
• Unique locking screw hole that allows you to lag, lock and provide axial compression in a single hole
• Stainless steel implant system
• Radiolucent targeting systems: handles offset for clear imaging 

Features of the Lateral Distal Femur Locked Plate

• Radiolucent targeter available for percutaneous technique ²

Features of the Lateral Proximal Tibia Locked Plate (sizes 3.5mm and 4.5mm)

• 3.5mm and 4.5mm Proximal Tibia Locking Plates
• May be percutaneously implanted using a radiolucent targeting system, allowing for preservation of blood supply
• The screw hole design allows for locking, non-locking and compression - gaining capabilities through the same hole
• Periarticular recesses which facilitate lag screw placement for joint surface reconstruction without compromising plate position
• Beveled tip to assist with submuscular insertion

Each screw hole in the 3.5mm Lateral Proximal Tibia Locking Plate will accept one of four different screws allowing customization of the screw configuration depending on the individual needs of the fracture:

• 3.5mm Locking Self-Tapping Cortex Screw
• 3.5mm Self-Tapping Cortex Screw (Non-Locking)
• 4.0mm Partially Threaded Cancellous Screw
• 4.0mm Fully Threaded Cancellous Screw

Each screw hole in the 4.5mm Lateral Proximal Tibia Locking Plate will accept one of four different screws allowing customization of the screw configuration depending on the individual needs of the fracture:

• 4.5mm Self-Tapping Cortex Screw (Non-Locking)
• 4.5mm Locking Self-Tapping Cortex Screw
• 5.7mm Cannulated Locking Screw
• 6.5mm Partially Threaded Cancellous Screw
