LEAP

Lateral Epicondylar Anatomic Plate

Fusion implants mapped the topography of humeri of English Springer Spaniels (ESS) and French Bulldogs (FBD) to create the design of three versions of the Lateral Epicondylar Anatomic Plate (LEAP) – FBD LEAP, ESS Short, ESS Long.

We investigated the configuration of fractures, and optimised screw hole position and screw direction to maximise bone holding, and minimise the risk of joint penetration.

Each Fusion LEAP is crafted from medical-grade titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V) in a multi-step manufacturing process starting with 3D printing and including heat treatment, CNC machining, and anodisation.

The final products have undergone a rigorous quality control process giving you confidence that you are using a product of cutting edge innovation and premium quality.

• Locking screw fixation with predefined screw trajectories, aligned along validated safe corridors
  
• Short and long plate options available to accommodate a range of fracture configurations
  
• Screw hole positioning informed by CT analysis of 17 condylar fractures, optimising fixation and consistency
• Three plate variants available — FBD LEAP, ESS Short, and ESS Long — developed from French Bulldog and English Springer Spaniel CT datasets and suitable for small- to medium-sized dogs within this size category
