  • Summary
    • Designed with SOMA (Stryker Orthopedics Modeling and Analytics) which includes a database with CT scans from hospitals across the world and state of the art algorithms that analyze shape variability, bone density, and implant fit
    • Designed to link with the T2 Alpha Femur Retrograde Nail when using nail plate combination fixation
    • Eight distal T20 screw holes, including 1 linking hole and 1 AP hole designed to capture Hoffa fragments
  • Related Implants
    • The Pangea® Femur Reconstruction System includes
      • Lateral NPC Plate 
      • Medial NPC Plate (this topic)
      • T2 Alpha™ Femur Retrograde Nailing System 
  • Design
    • Tapered end
      • allows for atraumatic submuscular insertion
    • Staggered screw holes
      • designed to enable surgeon to choose points of fixation and allows for placement of screws around an intramedullary implant or a prothesis
    • AP hole
      • screw hole trajectory that is designed to capture a "Hoffa Fragment" (Posterior Medial Condyle)
    • Variable-angle screw holes
      • circular universal holes accept non-locking screws, and locking screws within a 30° cone
    • Proximal twist
      • metadiaphyseal twist allows for screw placement anterior to posterior
    • Linking hole
      • designed to allow for seamless linking of the plate to a T2 Alpha Femur Retrograde Nail using an AlphaLink Dowel
