Vi Plate Selection Chart This chart is for guidance only and precise implant selection depends on a number of factors which are to be considered when assessing the fracture healing score and the mechanical behaviour of implants; this should be taken into account when making a definitive selection. Scaled plate profiles are available in the catalogue or download the profiles from our website www.veterinary-instrumentation.co.uk Vi plate profiles are also available via digital planning applications.
