Cancellous screws are specialized orthopedic screws designed specifically for fixation in spongy (cancellous) bone, which is less dense and more porous than cortical bone. These screws are commonly used in orthopedic surgeries involving metaphyseal regions (ends of long bones) like the proximal femur, distal femur, proximal humerus, and pelvis. Design Characteristics: Threaded portion: Large, coarse [...]
Secure Lock Wrist Fusion Plates are specialized orthopedic implants used in wrist arthrodesis, a surgical procedure that permanently fuses the wrist joint. These plates provide rigid fixation of the wrist bones—typically the distal radius, carpal bones, and sometimes metacarpals—to eliminate motion and relieve pain in severely damaged or arthritic wrists. Key Features of Secure Lock [...]
A Variable Angle Radius Plates Instrument Set is a specialized collection of orthopedic surgical tools and implants used for the fixation of fractures in the distal radius (wrist end of the forearm bone). These sets are designed for procedures that require stable internal fixation, particularly for complex, intra-articular, extra-articular, or osteoporotic fractures. Key Components: Here [...]
Chin plates, also known as mandibular symphysis plates, are titanium or biocompatible metal implants designed to stabilize and support the bony fragments of the anterior mandible (chin area) during healing. These plates are part of CMF fixation systems used in trauma, tumor reconstruction, or orthognathic (jaw-corrective) surgery. Key Features: Chin Plates (Mandibular Symphysis Plates) Here [...]
A shoulder prosthesis is an artificial device that replaces all or part of the shoulder joint, typically used to restore mobility and relieve pain caused by severe joint damage, arthritis, fractures, or other degenerative conditions. This procedure is known as shoulder arthroplasty. Detailed Components of a Shoulder Prosthesis A typical shoulder prosthesis includes: Humeral Component: [...]
A Proximal Humerus Alpha Plate is a specialized orthopedic implant designed for the surgical fixation of fractures or reconstructions of the proximal (upper) part of the humerus, which is the long bone in the upper arm that connects the shoulder to the elbow. The Proximal Humerus Alpha Plate is a contoured metal plate, typically made [...]
An instrument set for femoral head prostheses plays a crucial role in hip replacement surgeries, particularly in procedures involving hemiarthroplasty (partial hip replacement) or total hip arthroplasty (THA). These instruments are specially designed to assist orthopedic surgeons in accurately implanting a prosthetic femoral head, ensuring proper joint function and patient mobility. Key Roles and Functions: [...]
A Distal Fibula Hook Plate is a specialized orthopaedic implant used to treat fractures and injuries at the distal end of the fibula, especially near the ankle joint. It is a type of locking or non-locking plate with hook-like projections at one end, designed to grip the bone securely for stable fixation. Key Features of [...]
A prosthesis (plural: prostheses) is an artificial device designed to replace a missing body part, such as a limb, eye, or even internal organs. Prostheses help restore the function and appearance of the missing body part, improving the individual's quality of life. Types of Prostheses Prostheses are classified based on the body part they [...]
Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used in orthopedic medicine to diagnose and treat problems inside a joint. It involves inserting a small camera, called an arthroscope, into the joint through a small incision. The camera projects images onto a screen, allowing the surgeon to view the joint in detail and perform necessary surgical [...]
