Orthopaedic fixation plates that are non-bioabsorbable are rigid metal implants used to stabilize broken bones (excluding skull or spine fractures) or to fuse joints. They are typically secured with screws and may be used in limb, rib, sternum, or pelvic surgeries, including fracture repair and joint fusion procedures like arthrodesis.
These devices are generally classified as surgical implants and regulated under medical device laws, with requirements varying by country. They are often supplied as part of a surgical kit, including screws or specialized tools for placement, and may be paired with other fixation devices for complex procedures.
