The OrthoLine fracture management system allows the surgeon to perform a fracture repair with the same screws used in the TPLO System. The 70-plate, state-of-the-art fracture line includes sizes 1.6 mm, 1.6 mm broad, 2.0 mm, 2.4 mm, 3.0 mm, and 3.5 mm for straight and T-style plates and 3.5 mm broad straight plates for both feline and canine patients.
Designed with the surgeon in mind, the plates have many features to help create a more reproducible procedure: The locking straight plates include a slide hole, which allows slight movement across the fracture line to facilitate the best plate placement. The low-profile design reduces prominence under the skin and features, limiting bone-to-plate contact. Plate size and length were specifically designed to include hole-to-hole spacing.
Tight screw density on the distal and proximal ends with larger bridges near the center of the plate allows surgeons to fit more screws in the same footprint than competitive plates. Additional features designed to aid in proper plate placement include K-wire holes, variable-angle locking screws for the titanium lines, slide holes, and compression holes. OrthoLine plates can be contoured using size-specific bending irons and cannulated bending plugs, which can also function as K-wire holes in any locking screw hole.
In addition to the new OrthoLine fracture plates, the fracture management system includes a variety of screw options, including fully threaded headless compression screws, partially threaded screws, cannulated lag screws, low-profile screws, and QuickFix™ cannulated screws.

OrthoLine™ Fracture System

Child (D)

The Arthrex OrthoLine™ distal femur osteotomy system incorporated surgeon input with key engineering features for an innovative design that is specific to small animal anatomy. The state-of-the-art plating line includes several key features.
&nbsp;
<ul>
 <li>Anatomic design</li>
 <li>High screw density where it's needed</li>
 <li>Specific screw trajectories</li>
 <li>Low plate-to-bone contact, tapered ends, and low profiled</li>
 <li>Color-coded for easy identification</li>
 <li>K-wire holes</li>
 <li>Cortical/locking/variable-angle locking screws</li>
 <li>Suture hole to facilitate soft-tissue closure and support</li>
</ul>

OrthoLine™ Distal Femur Osteotomy System

The Arthrex OrthoLine™ radial fracture plate system includes 1.6 mm, 2.0 mm, 2.4 mm, 3.0 mm, and 3.5 mm sizes. Each plate is anatomically contoured to mimic the anatomy of patients within a given size range. The system is designed with multiplanar distal screw trajectories and proximal screws centrally aligned within the bone to improve screw pullout. The plates are thinner than a standard T-plate or straight plate, providing less soft tissue interference. The tubular bottom enables better conformity to the patient’s bone structure and increases the area moment of inertia. This unique design also includes a fracture-spanning bridge with a compression screw hole providing compression across the fracture site, bending plugs, and several k-wire holes to assist in preliminary placement. The plates are designed for a cranial-medial placement, but a cranial-lateral placement can be used with the contralateral side plate.
&nbsp;
Features and Benefits
<ul>
 <li>Multiplanar distal screws</li>
 <li>Proximal screw trajectories to align centrally in the bone</li>
 <li>Designed for distal radial fractures</li>
 <li>Anatomic plate design with left and right options</li>
 <li>High screw density where needed</li>
 <li>Tapered design to avoid soft tissue irritation</li>
 <li>Compression hole</li>
 <li>Fracture-spanning bridge</li>
 <li>Two placement options</li>
</ul>

OrthoLine™ Radial Fracture System

The Arthrex OrthoLine™ femur fracture system includes two innovative anatomic femur designs. The proximal femur plate and distal femur plate systems were designed with surgeon input and key engineering features. Specific to small animal patients, the state-of-the-art plating line includes several key features.
&nbsp;
<ul>
 <li>Anatomic design</li>
 <li>High screw density where it's needed</li>
 <li>Specific screw trajectories</li>
 <li>Low plate-to-bone contact, tapered ends, and low profile</li>
 <li>Color-coded for easier identification</li>
 <li>K-wire holes</li>
 <li>Cortical/locking/variable-angle locking screws</li>
 <li>Suture hole to facilitate soft-tissue closure and support</li>
</ul>

OrthoLine™ Femur Fracture System

The OrthoLine ilial fracture plate system includes sizes of 1.6 mm, 2.0 mm, 2.4 mm, 3.0 mm, and an additional long 3.5 mm plate for larger dogs. Each plate size is anatomically contoured to mimic the anatomy of patients within a given size range. The plate includes cranial divergent screw trajectories to improve purchase in the cranial ilium. The caudal screw trajectories are more dorsally oriented to help diverge away from the coxofemoral joint.&nbsp; Additionally, the ilial plate includes a suture hole paired with Arthrex VetSuture for apposition of the gluteal musculature at closure.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Features and Benefits
<ul>
 <li>Divergent cranial screw trajectories for added pullout strength</li>
 <li>Caudal screw trajectories to diverge from coxofemoral joint</li>
 <li>Designed for cranial, caudal, and oblique fracture patterns</li>
 <li>Anatomic plate design with left and right options</li>
 <li>High screw density where needed</li>
 <li>Suture hole to aid in soft tissue closure</li>
 <li>Scalloped underside to distribute stress and minimize contact</li>
</ul>
