One Third Tubular Plate

The One Third Tubular Plate from Glass Agencies is an orthopedic fixation implant commonly used for the stabilization of fractures in small bones and areas where a low-profile plate is preferred. This plate is named for its tubular cross-sectional shape, which represents approximately one third of a full tube, providing balanced strength while maintaining a slim profile. Its contoured structure allows the plate to adapt closely to the surface of bones such as the fibula, ulna, radius, and metacarpals, supporting accurate fracture alignment during healing. The low-profile form helps reduce soft tissue irritation and supports patient comfort after implantation. The plate contains evenly spaced screw holes that accept compatible cortical screws, allowing secure fixation and controlled compression across the fracture site. The hole configuration supports flexibility in screw placement, enabling surgeons to address simple or complex fracture patterns with confidence. The plate may also be used in tension band applications or as a neutralization plate in combination with other fixation methods. Its design supports stable fixation while allowing preservation of periosteal blood supply, which is important for bone healing. The One Third Tubular Plate is frequently used in fractures of the ankle, especially lateral malleolus fractures, as well as in forearm and hand injuries where a compact implant is required. It is also suitable for corrective osteotomies and reconstruction procedures involving small bone segments. The implant is manufactured from medical grade stainless steel or titanium alloy, providing high mechanical strength and resistance to corrosion in physiological environments. The surface is smoothly finished to reduce tissue adhesion and minimize the risk of irritation. Rounded edges and polished contours help limit soft tissue trauma during placement and long-term use. Glass Agencies follows strict quality control procedures, including inspection of raw materials, dimensional accuracy, screw hole alignment, and surface finish. Each One Third Tubular Plate is supplied in clean protective packaging with clear labeling to support identification, handling, and storage. When applied using accepted orthopedic surgical techniques, this plate supports stable fracture fixation, maintained anatomical alignment, effective load sharing, and favorable healing outcomes, making it a widely used implant in orthopedic trauma and reconstructive procedures.
