The Proximal Humerus Locking Plate is anatomically contoured for internal fixation of proximal humerus fractures. It features multiple 3.5 mm locking holes positioned at specific angles to support fixation of the humeral head and shaft.
The plate uses 20° conical locking screw holes to create a fixed-angle construct, providing angular stability and secure screw anchorage. This configuration is particularly suited to fixation where bone quality is reduced, including osteoporotic bone.
The plate is manufactured from TA3G pure titanium or TC4 titanium alloy, combining the material characteristics required for orthopedic fixation with biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, and mechanical performance.
Features
20° Conical Locking Holes
The 20° conical locking holes are compatible with specially designed locking and cannulated screws, providing a secure threaded interface between the plate and screws.
Anatomical Low-Profile Design
The plate is anatomically contoured to the proximal humerus and incorporates rounded edges and a highly polished surface to help minimize soft-tissue irritation.
Color-Anodized Surface
The anodized surface treatment provides corrosion protection and facilitates implant identification.
Self-Tapping Screw Tips
Sharp self-tapping screw tips facilitate screw insertion and help simplify the implantation procedure.
Ball-Head Cortical Screws
Ball-head cortical screws allow eccentric insertion when axial compression is required, providing additional flexibility during fracture fixation.
