The SURFIX Knee Osteotomy System consists of different stainless steel plates for the proximal tibia and the distal femur with a locking system between the threaded sockets of the plates and the lock screws. Their fixation is provided by titanium alloy screws and lock screws available in two versions : cancellous bone screws diameter 6.5 mm and cortical bone screws diameter 4.5 mm. The system fixation creates a single implant/screw unit fixed into the bone thanks to the lock screw.
A sterile implantable sheet of firm material intended to be attached to fractured long bone fragments with screws to bridge and stabilize the fracture gap, and shield the site from stress as the bone heals; the material is not chemically degraded or absorbed by natural body processes (includes implant grade metal such as surgical steel, titanium alloy, or carbon fibre). The device is typically used to treat traumatic or pathological orthopaedic fractures; it may also be used to temporarily augment bone following a lengthening procedure, or for arthrodesis (joint fusion).
