Pelvic Plate - 3.5 mm J (Reconstruction)
Product Overview
The 3.5 mm Pelvic J Plate is an advanced orthopedic implant tailored for the precise fixation of pelvic fractures. Its meticulously curved design ensures optimal anatomical adaptation, promoting stability and facilitating efficient healing. Crafted from high-quality materials, this implant prioritizes patient comfort and surgical precision. With its reliable performance and emphasis on anatomical conformity, the 3.5 mm Pelvic J Plate offers orthopedic surgeons a dependable solution for restoring pelvic function and promoting post-operative recovery.
Product Uses
- Pelvic Fractures : This plate is specifically designed for stabilizing and fixing pelvic fractures, which can occur due to high-impact trauma such as car accidents or falls.
- Pelvic Reconstruction Surgery : In cases where there's a need for pelvic reconstruction due to deformities, tumors, or congenital abnormalities, the Pelvic J Plate can be utilized to realign and stabilize the pelvic bones, restoring proper anatomical structure and function.
- Orthopedic Trauma : Apart from fractures, the Pelvic J Plate can be used in cases of orthopedic trauma involving the pelvic region, such as dislocations or severe soft tissue injuries. It helps in immobilizing and supporting the injured area during the healing process.
- Pelvic Osteotomies : Surgeons may also employ the Pelvic J Plate in pelvic osteotomies, which involve cutting and realigning pelvic bones to correct malformations or alleviate certain conditions like hip dysplasia. The plate aids in maintaining the correct alignment of the bones post-surgery.
- Revision Surgeries : In cases where previous pelvic surgeries have failed or resulted in complications, the Pelvic J Plate can be used in revision surgeries to reinforce the pelvic structure and improve outcomes.
Product Specification
- Material : Usually made from medical-grade stainless steel, titanium, or titanium alloy. These materials offer high strength, biocompatibility, and corrosion resistance, essential for long-term implantation within the body.
- Thickness : The plate thickness is typically around 3.5 mm, giving it the necessary strength to withstand biomechanical forces in the pelvic region while still allowing for ease of surgical manipulation and fixation.
- Length and Width : The dimensions of the plate vary depending on the specific design and manufacturer. Commonly, the length ranges from approximately 70 mm to 150 mm, and the width can vary from 20 mm to 40 mm.
- Shape : As indicated by its name, the Pelvic J Plate has a distinctive J shape, which allows for optimal fixation and stability in pelvic fractures and reconstructions. The J shape is designed to contour to the anatomy of the pelvis, providing secure anchorage points for screws while minimizing interference with surrounding structures.
- Screw Compatibility : The plate is compatible with 3.5 mm screws, which are used for securing the plate to the bone. These screws may also vary in length and configuration, allowing for optimal fixation depending on the specific fracture pattern or surgical technique employed.

Comprehensive Guide for Pelvic Plate - 3.5 mm J Reconstruction
- Patient Evaluation : Review the patient's medical history, focusing on any previous pelvic surgeries, existing orthopedic conditions, and any relevant comorbidities.Assess the patient's current functional status and ability to tolerate surgery and rehabilitation.
- Surgical Planning : Collaborate with the surgical team to determine the optimal approach and technique for implantation. Select the appropriate size and configuration of the 3.5 mm Plevic J Plate based on the patient's anatomy and injury pattern.
- Informed Consent : The patient receives detailed information about the planned surgery, including potential risks, benefits, and alternatives. Informed consent is obtained after the patient has had an opportunity to ask questions and fully understand the procedure.
- Preparation of Equipment : Verify the availability and functionality of all instruments, implants, and equipment required for the procedure.Ensure sterilization and proper handling of the Pelvic J Reconstruction Plate and associated surgical instruments.
- Operating Room Setup : Prepare the operating room with the necessary equipment, including imaging devices, surgical lights, and patient positioning aids.Confirm adequate space for the surgical team to work efficiently and safely.
- Anesthesia : The patient is placed under general anesthesia to ensure they remain unconscious and pain-free throughout the procedure. In some cases, regional anesthesia techniques may be used to provide targeted pain relief to the pelvic region.
- Surgical Approach : The surgeon makes an incision over the pelvic region, following the predetermined surgical plan. The choice of incision location and length depends on factors such as the specific injury or condition being addressed and the surgeon's preference.
- Exposure and Reduction : Once the surgical site is accessed, the surgeon carefully exposes the fractured or deformed pelvic bones. Any soft tissue or ligamentous structures obscuring the fracture site are gently retracted to allow for optimal visualization.
- Plate Placement : The 3.5 mm Pelvic J Plate is selected and positioned over the fractured or reconstructed pelvic bones. The plate's J-shaped design is carefully contoured to match the curvature of the pelvis, ensuring proper fit and alignment.
- Closure : Once the plate is securely in place and the fracture or reconstruction is stabilized, the surgical incision is closed using sutures or surgical staples. Sterile dressings may be applied to the wound, and a drain may be placed to remove any excess fluid or blood from the surgical site.
- Recovery and Monitoring : The patient is transferred to a recovery area where they are closely monitored for any signs of complications such as bleeding, infection, or nerve injury. Vital signs are monitored, and pain management techniques are initiated to keep the patient comfortable.
- Physical Therapy : Depending on the extent of the pelvic injury or reconstruction, the patient may begin physical therapy and rehabilitation exercises to promote healing, restore mobility, and strengthen the pelvic muscles and surrounding structures.
- Follow-Up Care : The patient undergoes regular follow-up appointments with the orthopedic surgeon to monitor their progress, assess healing, and address any concerns or complications that may arise.
- Return to Activity : The timing for returning to normal activities varies depending on factors such as the extent of the injury, the success of the surgical procedure, and the individual patient's recovery trajectory.
- Long-Term Follow-Up : Periodic follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor the long-term function and integrity of the 3.5 mm Pelvic J Plate and assess for any late-onset complications such as implant loosening or hardware failure.
