Surgeons use a one-third tubular plate as a low-profile orthopedic fixation plate for stabilizing fractures in smaller, thinner bones. Its name reflects its shape — a curved segment that represents roughly one-third of a tube’s circumference — which lets it sit closely against the natural contour of the bone. Because of this curvature, surgeons commonly choose this tubular orthopedic plate to fix fractures involving the distal fibula, distal ulna, olecranon, and metatarsals, where a slender, adaptable implant supports reliable bone fixation.
Design and Features
The curved profile of this bone fixation plate helps it conform to irregular bone surfaces with minimal contouring during surgery. As a result, its low-profile structure reduces soft tissue irritation in anatomical areas where bone coverage is limited. In addition, the multiple hole options let surgeons choose the configuration that best suits the fracture pattern they’re treating.
Material Options
The plate comes in Premium German Stainless Steel and Titanium, giving surgical teams the flexibility to select the material that best fits procedural and patient requirements.
Available Hole Options
- 4 holes
- 5 holes
- 6 holes
- 7 holes
- 8 holes
- 9 holes
- 10 holes

Screw Compatibility
For this 3.5mm fixation plate, we recommend 3.5mm cortical screws. Surgeons can select and adjust screw size according to individual case requirements, and each plate includes screws.
