Overview

The straight and general PIONEER plates cover long-bone shaft fractures and periarticular patterns. Angled plates of 135° and 95° and a locking attachment plate complete the family. The straight plates combine compression and locking holes, so the surgeon chooses the screw type hole by hole. The plates are supplied sterile or non-sterile.

Design rationale

Combination holes

The straight plates have uniform hole spacing and threaded holes for the locking-screw option. They also offer compression, neutral and buttress screw positions. The surgeon can pull the bone to the plate with cortical screws and then lock the construct. The plate can also neutralise a lag-screw fixation.

Bullet-shaped ends

The ends of the 3.5 straight plates are bullet shaped for submuscular insertion, so that a long plate can be slid beneath the muscle.

Angled plates and attachment plate

The 135° and 95° angled locking plates work with a lag screw and a compression screw. The locking attachment plate is used with the narrow, broad, proximal femoral, distal femoral and 95° plates, together with a special additional locking screw and fixation end cap. It has an adjustable-position hole and is intended for use where a stem or nail limits bicortical screw placement.

Indications

Locking compression plates: fractures, osteotomies and nonunions of the clavicle, scapula, olecranon, humerus, radius, ulna, distal tibia and fibula.
Locking compression plates are indicated particularly in osteopenic bone.
Narrow and broad plates: fixation of long bones such as the humerus, femur and tibia, and periprosthetic fractures.
Narrow and broad plates: osteopenic bone, and nonunions or malunions in adult patients.
T and L buttress locking plates: fractures of the proximal tibia, proximal shaft, metaphyseal and intra-articular fractures.
Cloverleaf locking plate: intra-articular fractures of the distal tibia and proximal humerus fractures.
