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 fiber). The device is typically used to treat traumatic or pathological orthopedic fractures; it may also be used to temporarily augment bone following a lengthening procedure, or for arthrodesis (joint fusion).

The Synthes 242.34 L‑Plate is a compact and precision-engineered implant designed to stabilize small-bone fractures efficiently. At 34 mm long and just 1 mm thick, it's ideally tailored for tight anatomical spaces such as the hand or foot. Its oblique L-shape, with three holes oriented specifically for right-sided application, allows surgeons to contour and secure the plate to complex bone surfaces while preserving soft tissue integrity.

Crafted from high-quality stainless steel, this plate strikes an excellent balance between mechanical stiffness and surgical finesse. The 2.7 mm cortex screw compatibility ensures secure fixation without excessive bulk. The 8 mm spacing between holes imparts flexibility in screw placement, enabling customization of constructs based on bone morphology and fracture pattern.

From a procurement standpoint, the 242.34 L‑Plate offers notable value. New, sterile units are affordably priced, while open-package options expand flexibility for institutions with tight budgets. Its inclusion in Synthes’s mini-fragment plating systems underscores its utility in precision orthopedic reconstructions where control, reliability, and anatomical fitting are paramount.
