Summit Patella Plating System
The Summit Patella Plating System is delivered to the surgeon in a sterile, single-use kit. Both Standard and Small plate kits come ready to use with a single #2 suture for the quadriceps tendon and two #2 sutures for the patella ligament. The sutures in the inferior pole allow for a Krackow stitch technique to be utilized if required.
Once the sutures have been placed, the surgeon can cinch them tight to the desired tension by simply pulling on the tail of the suture toward the center of the plate.
This combination of plate/screw and suture construct in one implant allows surgeons to address not only any osseous fracture repair and soft-tissue management but also offers a bio-mechanical advantage during patient recovery. Through off-loading the natural forces (moving through the quadricep, through the patella, and to the patella ligament) of the knee’s extensor mechanism to a single, interconnected construct (Plate, Screw, & Sutures) the surgical repair of the patella and soft-tissue is able to move naturally while minimizing distraction forces across the injury while the injury heals.
