About Proximal Humerus Plate
Proximal Humerus Plates are commonly used in orthopedic trauma surgeries for treating fractures of the humeral head, neck, and proximal shaft. Made from high-quality surgical-grade stainless steel, these plates are durable, biocompatible, and resistant to corrosion. Advin Health Care provides Proximal Humerus Plates designed to offer precise fixation while preserving the shoulderas natural anatomy. The locking mechanism between screws and plate ensures stability without depending on bone quality alone, reducing the risk of implant loosening. Their anatomical contour and screw placement options make them ideal for restoring alignment and function in shoulder-related fractures, improving both surgical outcomes and patient recovery.

Precision Engineering for Complex FracturesThe Proximal Humerus Plate is meticulously designed and CNC machined to match the anatomical curves of the humerus. Its multiple hole options and cold-forged technology ensure a precise fit and stable fixation for challenging fractures, promoting faster patient recovery and optimal bone healing.
Versatile and Reliable Material OptionsChoose between polished or brushed stainless steel and titanium alloy plates based on surgical preference. Both materials offer superior durability and radiographic visibility, while being latex-free, lightweight, and safe for use in any modern operating room.
Easy Sterilization and ReusabilityWith a shelf life of up to 5 years and compatibility with EO gas or autoclave sterilization, this plate offers reusable functionality without compromising safety or performance. Proper storage in clean, dry environments ensures longevity and readiness for future procedures.
FAQ's of Proximal Humerus Plate:
Q: How is the Proximal Humerus Plate used during orthopedic surgery?
A: The plate is designed for internal fixation of proximal humerus fractures. It is carefully positioned over the bone and secured with compatible 3.5mm locking or cortical screws, providing stable fixation and enabling early mobilization of the shoulder.
Q: What types of fractures can be treated with this plate?
A: This implant is indicated for 2-part, 3-part, and some 4-part proximal humerus fractures. Its anatomically contoured design allows for effective stabilization and realignment of bone fragments in both acute and complex injury patterns.
Q: When and where can the plate be sterilized before use?
A: Sterilization is mandatory before every surgical procedure. The plate can be sterilized either through ethylene oxide (EO) gas or using an autoclave in a hospital's sterile processing department, according to standard surgical protocols.
Q: What are the available options for holes and how do they impact selection?
A: The plate comes in 3, 5, 7, or 9-hole configurations. The choice depends on fracture complexity and surgeon preference. More holes provide increased fixation points, enabling secure stabilization for more comminuted or extensive fractures.
Q: What benefits does this plate provide for proximal humerus fracture management?
A: The plate's high torsional stability, anatomical contouring, and multiple locking holes promote secure fixation, minimize risk of implant migration, and improve radiographic visualization, supporting quicker functional recovery for patients.
Q: Is the plate reusable and how should it be stored?
A: Yes, the plate is reusable when properly sterilized after each use. It should be stored in a clean, dry environment to maintain its hygiene and integrity, ensuring optimal performance throughout its shelf life.
