State-of-the-art locked plating systems allow anatomical reduction with permanent retention in accordance with the fixateur interne principle.

aap`s portfolio represents the gold standard in fracture treatment, particularly in cases with reduced bone quality and in the stabilization of comminuted fractures.

Advantages:

• Fracture compression and angular stability in one surgical step
• High stability through the combination of two fixation principles
• Easy explantation – no cold welding*
• Anatomical design with optimized fit and predetermined screw angles for improved fracture fixation
• Locking & compression holes in plate shaft
• Minor Contact undercuts for minimized contact to the bone to preserve periosteal blood supply
• Polished surface to reduce the bone ingrowth
• K-wire holes for preliminary fixation
• Oblong holes to adjust the placement of the plate
• Tapered plate shaft for subcutaneous insertion
