olecranon locking plate
The olecranon locking plate represents a significant advancement in orthopedic surgical hardware, specifically designed to treat complex fractures of the olecranon process of the ulna. This innovative fixation device combines precision engineering with anatomical considerations to provide optimal stability and support during the healing process. The plate features strategically positioned locking holes that accommodate both locking and conventional screws, allowing surgeons to create a robust construct that effectively distributes forces across the fracture site. Its pre-contoured design closely matches the natural anatomy of the proximal ulna, minimizing the need for intraoperative bending and reducing surgical time. The plate's low-profile configuration helps prevent soft tissue irritation while maintaining structural integrity. Advanced metallurgical techniques ensure the plate offers superior strength-to-weight ratio, typically constructed from medical-grade titanium or stainless steel. The system includes various plate lengths and configurations to accommodate different fracture patterns and patient anatomies, making it a versatile solution for both simple and comminuted olecranon fractures.
