LCP X-Plate

ถาม&ก

ไตรมาสที่ 1: What is an X-shaped Locking Plate used for?

A1: The X Locking Plate is designed for fixation and stabilization of small bone fractures, commonly used in hand, wrist, foot, and ankle surgeries, especially where multiple fracture lines intersect.

ไตรมาสที่ 2: Why is it called an “X-shaped” plate?

A2: The plate has a cross or “X” configuration that allows fixation in four directions, offering multidirectional stability at the fracture or fusion site.

ไตรมาสที่ 3: What material is the X Locking Plate made from?

A3: It is usually made of titanium alloy or medical-grade stainless steel, ensuring excellent biocompatibility, durability, and corrosion resistance.

ไตรมาสที่ 4: What are the advantages of the X-shaped design?

A4: The X shape provides optimal screw placement from multiple angles, improving stability and minimizing the risk of rotational or angular displacement.

คำถามที่ 5: In what types of surgeries is the X Locking Plate most commonly used?

A5: It is frequently used in metacarpal, metatarsal, tarsal, and distal radius fractures, as well as arthrodesis of small joints.

คำถามที่ 6: How does the locking mechanism improve fixation?

A6: The locking screws create a fixed-angle construct with the plate, enhancing stability even in osteoporotic or comminuted bone.

คำถามที่ 7: Are there different sizes or variations of the X Locking Plate?

A7: ใช่, it comes in various sizes and hole configurations to suit different anatomical regions and surgical needs.

คำถามที่ 8: Can the X-shaped plate be contoured during surgery?

A8: Many X plates are pre-contoured for anatomy-specific fit, but some can be slightly bent intraoperatively to adapt to the bone surface.

คำถามที่ 9: What are the main benefits compared to standard straight plates?

A9: The X plate allows multi-directional screw fixation, better control of complex fracture patterns, and enhanced torsional resistance.

คำถามที่ 10: What are the expected outcomes after using an X Locking Plate?

A10: It provides stable fixation, supports early mobilization, reduces the risk of implant failure, and promotes faster fracture healing.
