Distal Humerus Safety Lock Plate

• The Distal Humerus Safety Lock Plate 2.7/3.5, Dorsolateral with Lateral Support is available in various lengths. There are two version of the plate left and right separately designed for right and left humerus. The plates are pre-shaped to match the anatomy of the distal humerus with a contact low profile design.
• The Head Region of the plate accommodates Safety Lock Screw Φ 2.7 mm-Self Tapping and Shaft Region accommodates both Cortex Screw Φ 3.5 mm - Self Tapping and Safety Lock Screw Φ 3.5 mm - Self Tapping
• The Distal Humerus safety Lock Plate 2.7/3.5, Dorsolateral with Lateral Support is indicated for intraarticular fractures of the Distal Humerus, comminuted supracondylar fractures, osteotormies, and non-unions of the Distal Humerus.

Indications: The 3.5 mm LCP Extra-articular Distal Humerus Plates are indicated for fractures of the distal humerus.

• Left and right plates are anatomically contoured to match the posterolateral distal humerus.
• Two most distal holes are angled toward the capitulum and trochlea.
• Plate head tapered to minimize soft tissue irritation.
• A -contact plate design reduces plate-to-bone contact and helps to preserve the periosteal blood supply.

Anatomic reduction: Fracture reduction and fixation to restore anatomical relationships.

Stable fixation: Fracture fixation providing absolute or relative stability, as required by the patient, the injury, and the personality of the fracture.

Early, active mobilization: Early and safe mobilization and rehabilitation of the injured part and the patient as a whole.

Preservation of blood supply: Preservation of the blood supply to soft tissues and bone by gentle reduction techniques and careful handling.

• The Medial Distal Humerus Safety Lock Plate 2.7/3.5, is available in various lengths. There are two version of the plate left and right separately designed for right and left humerus. The plates are pre-shaped to match the anatomy of the distal humerus with a contact low profile design.
• The Head Region of the plate accommodates safety Lock Screw Φ 2.7 mm-Self Tapping and shaft region accommodates both cortex screw Φ 3.5 mm - Self Tapping and Safety Lock Screw Φ 3.5 mm - Self Tapping
• The Medial Distal Humerus safety Lock Plate 2.7/3.5, Left Direction is indicated for intraarticular fractures of the Distal Humerus, comminuted supracondylar fractures, osteotormies, and non-unions of the Distal Humerus.

Anatomically precontoured plate: plateThe anatomical shape of the plate has been especially designed to fit the complex shape of the medial part of the distal humerus.

Thinned plate profile: The distal part of the plate is tapered to preserve the thin soft tissue envelope of the distal humerus.

Notches on the plate shaft: The notches allow for additional lateral bending of the plate to deal with the wide anatomical variance of the humeri. The plate can be bent at max. 4° at each notch.

Optimal distal application of the locking screws: The distal end of the plate has been equipped with three threaded round holes intended for angular stable locking screws. Their specific orientation in combination with the thin plate profile allows stable fixation of the condylar zone and the articular surface while fully pre-serving the soft tissue, without any risk of screws penetrating the articulation.

Increased hole density for improved anchorage:The three distal LCP round holes allow inserting the screws closer to one another and hence an optimal fixation of the bone fragments.
The elongated hole in the shaft facilitates fine tuning of the reduction and plate positioning in the longitudinal axis.
Improved vascularization of the bone due to plate undercuts that reduce the plate-to-bone contact.

Indications:

Metaphyseal Safety Lock Plate 3.5 for Distal, Medial Humerus is an anatomically precontoured plate that permits an optimal treatment of juxta-articular distal humerus fractures. It takes into account the following peculiarities of the distal humerus: Thin soft-tissue envelope & complex shape of the bone.

• Safety Lock Screw Ø 2.7mm - Self Tapping is used for the Fixation of Small Fragment Safety Lock Plate.
• Larger core dia of the screw provides strength and threaded head for locking in plate.
• Self tapping feature eliminates the use of bone tap.
• Drill Bit: 2.0mm

• Safety Lock Screw Ø 3.5mm- Self Tapping is used for the fixation of Small Fragment Safety Lock Plate.
• Larger core dia of the screw provides strength and threaded head for locking in plate.
• Self tapping eliminates the use of bone tap.
• Drill Bit: 2.8mm

• Drill Bit: 2.8mm

• Cortex Screw Ø 3.5mm are used for the fixation of small fragment implants.
• Larger Core of the screw provides strength and spherical surface under the head of the screw is for better compression.
• Self tapping feature eliminates the use of bone tap.
• Use 2.5mm Drill Bit.

• Cancellous Bone Screw Ø 4.0mm, Short-thread.
• These screws are used to fix small fragment implants.
• The cancellous screws are indicated for use in cancellous regions of the bone.
• The deep and widely spaced cuts increase pull out resistance in soft cancellous bones.
• Drill Bit: 2.5mm

• Profile:
• Not to be used as lag screw.
• Drill Bit: 2.5mm
