plate orthopedic implants
Plate orthopedic implants are medical devices designed to stabilize and support fractured bones, ensuring proper alignment and healing. These implants come in various sizes and shapes to accommodate different anatomies and injury types. The main functions of plate orthopedic implants include maintaining bone position, reducing the risk of nonunion (failed healing), and supporting the bone until it heals. Technological features of these implants include advanced materials such as titanium or stainless steel, which offer high strength and biocompatibility. Furthermore, the plates often have a low-profile design to minimize soft tissue irritation and improve patient comfort. Applications of plate orthopedic implants span various medical fields, including trauma surgery, orthopedic surgery, and reconstructive procedures.
