Proximal lateral tibial osteotomy locking plate - Placa LCP de osteotomía para tibia proximal lateral

Proximal Lateral Tibial Osteotomy Plate is an orthopedic implant used in surgical procedures to realign the upper end of the tibia bone. This type of plate is utilized in Proximal Lateral Tibial Osteotomy surgeries, which involve making a carefully planned cut in the tibia bone to change its alignment and correct deformities in the knee joint.

The Proximal Lateral Tibial Osteotomy procedure is typically performed to address conditions such as genu valgum (knock-knee deformity) or other knee alignment issues. By changing the alignment of the tibia bone, the surgeon aims to redistribute the weight-bearing forces in the knee joint and alleviate pain or other symptoms caused by the deformity.

The Proximal Lateral Tibial Osteotomy Plate is specially designed to fit the proximal (upper) part of the lateral aspect of the tibia bone. This region of the tibia bone is located closer to the knee joint and is where the osteotomy is typically performed.

Similar to other osteotomy plates, the Proximal Lateral Tibial Osteotomy Plate is fixed to the tibia bone using screws. The plate's design allows for precise positioning of the bone fragments, which aids in maintaining the corrected alignment during the healing process. It provides stability to the osteotomy site and supports proper bone union.
