The Periarticular Proximal Humerus Locking Plate is designed for anatomical fixation of proximal humeral fractures. Its periarticular design combines an anatomically contoured profile with locking fixation to support stable fracture fixation while helping minimize soft tissue irritation.
The plate incorporates 20° conical threaded locking holes for angular-stable screw fixation. Its low-profile, highly polished design reduces the need for direct plate-to-bone compression, helping preserve the periosteal blood supply. Manufactured from TA3G pure titanium or TC4 titanium alloy, the plate is suitable for orthopedic fixation applications requiring biocompatibility and fatigue resistance.
Features
Angular-Stable Locking
20° conical threaded locking holes accommodate compatible locking screws to provide angular stability without requiring compression of the plate against the bone surface.
The locking interface supports stable plate-screw fixation for complex proximal humeral fracture patterns.
Anatomical Contour
Anatomically contoured geometry follows the shape of the proximal humerus to facilitate positioning and stable fixation.
The periarticular configuration is designed for fixation close to the joint while maintaining a low-profile construct.
Low-Profile Plate Design
Rounded edges and a highly polished surface help reduce soft tissue irritation and potential impingement.
The low-contact design reduces the need for direct compression between the plate and bone.
Screw Compatibility
Sharp self-tapping cutting edges facilitate screw insertion and can reduce the need for pre-drilling in applicable surgical situations.
