Product Introduction

The Olecranon Locking Plate is designed for stable angular fixation of olecranon fractures through a secure bone-screw-plate construct. Its 20° conical threaded holes work with locking screws to provide angular stability without requiring direct compression of the plate against the bone, helping preserve the periosteal blood supply.

The plate is anatomically contoured for the olecranon region and features a low-profile body with rounded edges and a highly polished surface to help reduce soft tissue irritation. Locking Screw Type I and Cannulated Screw Type II have conical heads designed to match the threaded holes, providing a secure interface and effective fixation.

The locking screws feature symmetrical threads to provide fixation under functional loading while helping control insertion torque. Screws with diameters of Φ1.5 mm and Φ2.0 mm use shallower threads for improved grip, while Φ6.5 mm and Φ7.3 mm screws feature deeper threads for fixation in cancellous bone.

Cortical screws are designed with spherical heads for use with combination holes, allowing axial compression through eccentric insertion. Their shallow thread design helps balance insertion torque and axial force, reducing the risk of screw loosening.

The components are manufactured from TA3G pure titanium and TC4 titanium alloy, offering biocompatibility, mechanical strength, and long-term stability.

Features

• Conical threaded screw heads designed for secure engagement with locking and compression combination holes

• Sharp self-tapping tips for easier screw insertion and improved bone anchorage

• Anodized surface treatment for enhanced corrosion resistance and implant identification

• Spherical-headed cortical screws compatible with compression, locking compression, and variable-angle compression holes

• Anatomically contoured plate body with rounded edges and a polished low-profile surface to help minimize soft tissue irritation

Advantage

• 20° conical threaded holes provide angular stability when used with locking screws

• Self-tapping screw design facilitates screw insertion and helps simplify the surgical procedure

• Low-profile anatomical design conforms to the olecranon region and helps reduce soft tissue irritation

• Titanium construction provides biocompatibility, mechanical strength, and fatigue resistance

Indications

• Simple, comminuted, or displaced olecranon fractures

• Osteoporotic fractures requiring angular-stable fixation

• Olecranon fracture non-unions or malunions

• Olecranon osteotomies requiring rigid internal fixation

• Complex elbow fractures involving the proximal ulna
