D E S CR IPT I O N O F T HE P L AT E A NATOMICALLY SHAPED PLATE INDICATIONS : The Humerus Locking Plating System is intended for fractures and fracture dislocations, osteotomies, and non-unions of the proximal Humerus. IDEAL PLACEMENT OF THE PLATE: 1.5cm from the proximal edge of the greater tuberosity, avoiding any problem of impingement. Unique & easily accessible suture holes allow for effective stabilization of the tuberosities. Optimized oblong hole length to allow for adjustment of plate height. Alongside the bicipital groove. OPTIMA L PROXIMAL SCREW P OSITION BLUNT-TIPPED SCREWS:...

A SIMPLE AND REPRODUCTIV E PRO CESS Drill guide, with its 2mm K-wire guide, ensures an accurate placement of a centering screw in the humeral head. STEP 2 The centering screw determines the best plate position and optimized fixed angle screw placement. STEP 3 Three variable angle locking screws to cope with every fracture pattern. Centering screw

Biceps Brachii Cephalic Vein Pectoralis Major The patient is placed in the beach-chair position. A deltopectoral approach, passing outside of the cephalic vein, is recommended. Retract the cephalic vein laterally and the pectoralis major medially. FR ACTUR E R ED U CTION Reduce the fracture through traction and manipulation and provisionaly stabilize the fracture fragments with K-wires. In valgus fracture patterns, the head must be elevated prior to provisional fixation. The greater tuberosity is anatomically reduced and pinned to the shaft. CENTERING SCREW Place the plate alongside the...

S U R GI C A L T ECHNI Q U E FIXED-ANGLE DIVERGENT SCREWS Use the drill guide (Ø3.5mm) and drill 4 divergent fixed-angle screws. This precise screw pattern enhances resistance to varus forces. Blunt-tipped screws limit protrusion through the articular surface. POLYAXIAL LOCKING SCREWS Orient and lock the first 2 proximal screws & the first metaphyseal screw according to the fracture pattern. As the highest bone density is located in the inferior quadrants, every attempt should be made to keep the screws descending. Use the 3.5 AO drill guide and place the remaining distal cortical screws,...
