Product Description
An L Buttress Plate is an orthopedic implant shaped like the letter L and designed to support and stabilize fractures near a joint, particularly in metaphyseal regions where fragment displacement is common. The vertical and horizontal limbs of the plate act as a buttress to prevent collapse or shifting of bone fragments under axial and shear forces. It provides multiple screw holes for secure fixation, maintains anatomical alignment, and is especially useful in periarticular fractures such as those of the distal femur, tibial plateau, or distal radius. Its low-profile design helps reduce soft-tissue irritation while offering strong mechanical stability for early mobilization and functional recovery.
