The Zimmer Periarticular Locking Plate System combines locking screw technology with the advanced design of Zimmer Periarticular Plates to create constructs for use in comminuted fractures or where deficient bone stock or poor bone quality is encountered.

By combining locking screw holes with compression slots, the plates can be used as both locking devices and fracture compression devices.  This technical innovation, combined with the transition in plate thickness – thinner in the metaphysis to thicker in diaphyseal areas – gives surgeons the ability to lock in the perfect fit.
