NCB® Proximal Tibia Plating System

The NCB Proximal Tibia Plating System is an innovative solution for complex fractures of the proximal tibia. This locking plate system offers surgeons expanded options in trauma surgery, providing precise targeting of cortical and cancellous screws with polyaxial freedom.

The system allows for polyaxial screw placement (30°) with subsequent screw locking. Before locking, the screws can act as lag screws and be used for fracture reduction; a benefit which is not offered with standard locking systems.

Anatomically-contoured plate with asymmetrical plate cross-section to facilitate anterolateral soft tissue coverage; plate head has 6° posterior tilt to match lateral tibial contour.

The MIS Guides allow for percutaneous targeting of screws and, thus, smaller incisions. The radiolucent guides permit insertion of plates sub-muscularly to help avoid stripping and damage to soft tissues.

The NBC Screw is secured with a locking cap that permits a range of 0°-15° off-center, or a 30° cone of polyaxiality. Cortical and cancellous screws can be used in traditional methods - lagging fragments or preventing rotation. With the ability to lock the construct after all screws have been inserted, screw directions can be adjusted intra-operatively without having to "unlock" the construct.

Placement of divergent screws to increase pull-out resistance paired with the ability to feel bone quality during inserting and tightening of screws.

Radiolucent MIS Guides allow submuscular plate insertion with minimal incision.

Spacers of 1mm, 2mm, and 3mm can be used intra-operatively to hold the plate off the bone. When the plate is 'locked' the spacers can be removed and the construct acts like an internal fixator. Keeping the plate off the bone is intended to reduce periosteal damage and blood supply impairment.
