JPS JuniOrtho Plating System

The JPS JuniOrtho Plating System™ is a complete plating system designed to address the specific demands of advanced deformity and trauma reconstruction of the lower extremities in pediatric population. The system has been designed for the treatment of congenital deformities in proximal femur, distal femur and tibia as well as articular fractures, where plating is one of the options.

The JPS JuniOrtho Plating System consists of three different plate sizes, identified as 3.0mm, 3.5mm and 5.0mm, available in different lengths according to the anatomical application. Plates have been designed to accept bone screws by means of suitable diameters. Bone screws are available in three different diameters (3.0mm, 3.5mm and 5.0mm corresponding to the plate size they can be used with) and different lengths as well as in locking and non-locking options.

Indications

The JPS JuniOrtho Plating System is indicated for internal fixation and stabilization of femoral and tibial fractures, osteotomies, mal-unions and non-unions.

Indications include:

  • Varus, valgus, rotational and/or shortening osteotomies
  • Femoral neck and/or pertrochanteric fractures
  • Proximal and distal metaphyseal fractures
  • Pathological and impeding pathological fractures

 

Use of the JPS JuniOrtho Plating System is indicated in pediatric (excluding newborns) and small stature adult patients.

Contraindications

Use of the JPS JuniOrtho Plating System is contraindicated in patients with:

  • General medical conditions not suitable for surgery
  • Active or suspected latent infections in or near the fixation site
  • Suspected or documented metal sensitivity

Pathological fractures without a diagnosis as it could result in a treatment failure in the intended population.
