Lateral Tibial Hockey Plate

The hockey plate is an anatomically shaped bone plate that surgeons use for lateral tibial fracture fixation in orthopedic trauma cases. Its curved, L-shaped profile — resembling a hockey stick — lets it conform to the contour of the proximal tibia along the lateral aspect. Because of this shape, the hockey plate is a recognized option for stabilizing fractures near the tibial plateau. This lateral tibial plate is manufactured for surgeons and hospitals that source reliable fixation implants for orthopedic trauma procedures.

Design and Application

The hockey plate’s contoured shape allows it to sit closely against the lateral tibial surface, which in turn supports stable screw placement across the proximal and shaft portions of the bone. As a result, orthopedic surgeons often select tibial fixation plates of this configuration when managing proximal tibia fractures that call for lateral-side plating as part of the surgical fixation plan. However, as with any internal fixation hardware, the treating surgeon determines plate size, hole count, and side (left or right) based on the individual fracture pattern and patient anatomy.

Specifications

• Material: German stainless steel or titanium
• Hole options: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, and 14 holes
• Position: left or right
• Screws: included

Configuration Options

Buyers can therefore select the plate configuration that matches their surgical requirement:

• Choose the required hole count based on fracture length and fixation plan
• Specify left or right lateral tibial plate
• Receive screws supplied with the plate

Overall, this orthopedic fixation plate meets standard trauma implant tolerances, so it suits hospitals, distributors, and orthopedic instrument buyers who source lateral tibial fracture plates for surgical inventory.
