The Synthes 440.529 is a precision-engineered Titanium LC‑DCP Lateral Tibial Head Buttress Plate, meticulously designed for stabilization of lateral tibial head fractures. Spanning 202 mm and equipped with nine strategically spaced holes, this plate ensures robust fixation along the proximal tibia. Its titanium construction delivers a remarkable strength-to-weight ratio, excellent biocompatibility, and resistance to corrosion—essential features for supporting healing in the demanding mechanical environment around the knee.

The plate’s Limited Contact design minimizes surface contact with the periosteum, promoting better blood supply to the bone and enhancing biologic healing. Dynamic compression capability allows surgeons to apply targeted compression across the fracture site. With 18 mm hole center spacing, it is compatible with 4.5 mm cortex screws, and offers proximal hole geometry to accommodate 6.5 mm cancellous screws for the tibial head region—ensuring a tailored, stable anchor for both diaphyseal and metaphyseal fixation.

Functionally, the 440.529 plate offers an optimal blend of biomechanical support and surgical flexibility. Titanium's elasticity modulates stiffness, reducing stress shielding, while the LC‑DCP contours conform closely to the lateral tibial anatomy, minimizing soft tissue disruption. Its single-use sterile packaging ensures procedural safety, and compatibility with standard Synthes screw systems streamlines integration into operative workflows. For surgeons addressing complex lateral tibial head fractures, the 440.529 stands out as a reliable, healing-oriented fixation solution.
