Product Introduction

The Distal Humerus Locking Plate is designed for internal fixation of fractures involving the distal humerus, providing a stable fixation option for complex fracture patterns and challenging bone conditions.

The plate incorporates 20° conical threaded locking holes and anatomically contoured geometry to support angular-stable fixation while reducing the need for direct plate-to-bone compression. Its low-profile design with smooth, polished edges is intended to help minimize soft tissue irritation.

Manufactured from TA3G pure titanium or TC4 titanium alloy, the plate is suitable for orthopedic fixation applications where biocompatibility and mechanical strength are required.

Features

Angular-Stable Locking

• 20° conical threaded locking holes provide angular stability when paired with compatible locking screws.
• The locking screw and plate interface supports a stable fixed-angle construct for complex fracture fixation.

Screw Design

• Sharp self-tapping cutting edges facilitate efficient screw insertion and secure bone purchase.
• Compatible with cortical and cancellous screws to accommodate different fracture patterns and bone conditions.

Anatomical Plate Design

• Anatomically contoured geometry is tailored to the distal humerus to simplify positioning and reduce the need for intraoperative bending.
• Low-profile construction with smooth, highly polished edges helps reduce soft tissue irritation and potential impingement.

Surface Treatment

• Color-anodized surface treatment provides corrosion resistance and facilitates identification of screw size or type.

Advantages

• Secure Angular Fixation: The locking plate-screw construct provides fixed-angle stability and is suitable for fixation in osteoporotic or comminuted bone.
• Reduced Plate-to-Bone Compression: The locking design reduces the need to compress the plate directly against the bone, helping preserve the periosteal blood supply.
• Soft Tissue-Friendly Profile: Rounded edges and a polished surface help minimize soft tissue irritation.
• Flexible Screw Options: Locking, non-locking, and cannulated screw options allow fixation to be adapted to different anatomical and fracture requirements.
• Pre-contoured Geometry: The anatomical plate shape helps streamline positioning and can reduce intraoperative plate contouring.

Indications

The Distal Humerus Locking Plate is indicated for internal fixation of:

• Intra-articular and extra-articular distal humerus fractures
• Fractures in osteoporotic bone
• Comminuted or complex distal humerus fractures
• Periprosthetic fractures of the distal humerus
• Non-unions and malunions of the distal humerus requiring stable fixation
