The VA-LCP Condylar plate 4.5/5.0 is part of the VA-LCP periarticular plating system which merges variable angle Locking Screw Technology with conventional plating techniques. the VA-LCP Condylar plate 4.5/5.0 system has many similarities to standard locking fixation methods, with a few important improvements. Variable angle Locking screw provide the ability to create a fixed-angle Constractions (Which provides advantages in osteopenic bone or multifragmentary bridge-plated Fractures) while  also providing the freedom to choose the screw trajectory prior to “fixing” the angle of the screw (trajectories that can diverge from the central axis of the plate hole).
