proximal humeral locking plate

The proximal humeral locking plate is an advanced orthopedic implant designed specifically for treating complex fractures and injuries of the upper arm bone near the shoulder joint. This innovative medical device combines cutting-edge metallurgy with anatomically optimized design to provide superior stability and promote optimal healing. The plate features strategically positioned locking screw holes that allow for multiple angle fixation, ensuring secure attachment to both the humeral shaft and head. Its low-profile design minimizes soft tissue irritation while maintaining structural integrity. The plate is manufactured from high-grade surgical stainless steel or titanium alloy, offering excellent biocompatibility and resistance to corrosion. Modern iterations incorporate specialized features such as suture holes for rotator cuff attachment and variable-angle locking capabilities, allowing surgeons to customize the fixation according to individual patient anatomy. The system includes both standard and extended options to accommodate different fracture patterns and patient sizes. Advanced coating technologies may be applied to enhance osseointegration and reduce the risk of infection. This sophisticated implant represents a significant advancement in shoulder fracture management, combining mechanical strength with biological optimization.

New Products

The proximal humeral locking plate offers numerous compelling advantages that make it a preferred choice for orthopedic surgeons and patients alike. The system's versatile design allows for precise anatomical reduction and stable fixation of various fracture patterns, from simple two-part breaks to complex multi-fragmentary injuries. The locking mechanism creates a fixed-angle construct that significantly reduces the risk of screw loosening and implant failure, particularly important in patients with poor bone quality. The plate's pre-contoured shape matches the natural anatomy of the proximal humerus, minimizing the need for intraoperative bending and reducing surgical time. Its low-profile design decreases soft tissue irritation and the likelihood of impingement, promoting better patient comfort and rehabilitation outcomes. The multiple locking options provide surgeons with greater flexibility in screw placement, enabling optimal fracture fixation while avoiding critical neurovascular structures. The system's compatibility with minimally invasive surgical techniques can result in smaller incisions, less tissue trauma, and potentially faster recovery times. The inclusion of specialized features such as suture holes facilitates the repair of associated soft tissue injuries, offering a comprehensive solution for complex shoulder trauma. The plate's robust construction ensures long-term stability while its biocompatible materials minimize the risk of adverse tissue reactions. These advantages collectively contribute to improved surgical outcomes, enhanced patient satisfaction, and more predictable healing trajectories.

Advanced Locking Technology

Advanced Locking Technology

The proximal humeral locking plate incorporates state-of-the-art locking technology that represents a significant advancement in fracture fixation. The system features specially designed threaded holes that create a rigid, fixed-angle construct when paired with locking screws. This technology effectively transforms the plate and screws into a single, unified stabilizing device, distributing forces evenly across the entire construct. The locking mechanism prevents screw toggle and backout, a common concern with traditional plating systems. Variable-angle locking capabilities allow surgeons to adjust screw trajectories by up to 15 degrees, providing crucial flexibility when navigating complex fracture patterns or avoiding compromised bone. The thread design ensures optimal compression and stability while minimizing the risk of stripping during insertion. This advanced locking technology is particularly beneficial in osteoporotic bone, where traditional screws may fail to achieve adequate purchase.
Anatomical Design Optimization

Anatomical Design Optimization

The plate's anatomical design represents a culmination of extensive research and biomechanical testing to achieve optimal fit and function. The pre-contoured shape precisely matches the natural anatomy of the proximal humerus, incorporating subtle curves and transitions that respect the bone's morphology. This anatomical optimization extends to the plate's thickness profile, which varies along its length to provide maximum strength where needed while maintaining a low profile in areas prone to soft tissue irritation. The design includes strategic cut-outs and scalloped edges that facilitate blood flow to the periosteum, promoting biological healing. The plate's width and length dimensions are carefully calculated to provide adequate coverage for typical fracture patterns while minimizing the implant's footprint. This optimization results in better load distribution, reduced stress concentration, and improved healing potential.
Enhanced Fixation Options

Enhanced Fixation Options

The proximal humeral locking plate system offers an unprecedented array of fixation options that enable surgeons to achieve optimal stability for various fracture patterns. The plate features multiple screw hole configurations in the humeral head portion, allowing for comprehensive fragment capture and stabilization. Specialized divergent and convergent screw trajectories create a three-dimensional scaffold within the humeral head, significantly increasing pull-out resistance. The system includes options for both cortical and cancellous screws, enabling surgeons to select the most appropriate fixation method based on bone quality and fracture characteristics. Additional features such as suture holes and specialized compression slots provide supplementary fixation options for managing associated soft tissue injuries and achieving targeted compression across fracture lines. This comprehensive approach to fixation ensures that surgeons have the tools necessary to address even the most challenging fracture scenarios.
