Surgical Technique The deltopectoral approach can be used for almost any proximal humeral fracture. 2. Fracture Reduction and Preliminary fixation Fractures in proximal humerus represent various fracture types. Reduction can be performed by suturing or pure traction depending on the type of fracture. After fracture reduction, hold the reduction manually or with a pointed reduction forceps. Temporarily secure it with 2 K-wires. Note: Ensure that K-wires do not interfere with correct plate placement Required Set ARIX Humerus System 112-122 ARIX Humerus System

Surgical Technique 3. Plate positioning and initial fixation Place the plate in correct placement. 1. Align properly along the axis of the humeral shaft 2. More slightly posterior to the bicipital groove (2 ~ 4 mm) Place the drill guide(111-212) on the oblong hole in plate shaft for drilling. Using a Ø 2.7 mm drill bit(112-35-704), drill a hole with bi-cortical. Attach the plate to the humeral shaft with a 3.5 mm cortical screw in the oblong hole. Note : If necessary, assemble the drill sleeve handle(111-157) with a variable drill sleeve(111-172) for better visibility during operation....

4. Fixation Attach the plate to the proximal humerus head & shaft with plate locking holes. Several types of screw can be used in plate locking holes. - 0 3.5 mm Cortical Locking Screw (35L-SO-LXX-TA) - 0 3.5 mm Cortical Non-Locking Screw (35-SO-LXX-T) - 0 4.0 mm Cancellous Locking Screw (40L-SA-XXX-TA) The procedures can be used in the following methods. Choose an appropriate drill sleeve between unidirectional sleeve(111-173) and variable angle sleeve(111-172) to drill holes. Do not drill through the subchondral bone and into the shoulder joint. Measure hole depth and choose an...

Surgical Technique 5. Suturing and Final check Sutures placed through the insertions of each rotator cuff tendon increase stability. Pass the sutures through the corresponding holes in the plate and tie them together. Using image intensification, check carefully for correct reduction and fixation at various arm positions. Ensure that screw tips are not intraarticular. 6. Closure and Implant Removal Close Incision Use the appropriate method for surgical closure of the incision Implant Removal To remove locking screws, first unlock all screws from the plate; then remove the screws completely...
