About Proximal Humorous Locking Plate
The Proximal Humerus Locking Plate is commonly used in trauma orthopedic procedures for treating fractures of the proximal humerus, including complex and multi-part fractures. Its anatomically contoured design provides secure fixation while minimizing soft tissue irritation. Advin Health Care manufactures these plates using high-quality stainless steel or titanium to ensure durability, strength, and consistent clinical performance. This implant enhances fracture stabilization, reduces the risk of implant loosening, and supports faster recovery in patients. It is a trusted choice for surgeons managing shoulder and upper arm fractures.

Precision Design for Optimal Fracture FixationThe Proximal Humorous Locking Plate is engineered with anatomical contours to closely match the natural shape of the proximal humerus. This precise fit helps improve stability, reduces operating time, and promotes faster healing. The plates lightweight construction and variable size options enable surgeons to choose the appropriate model for diverse patient anatomies.
Superior Material and Finish ChoicesConstructed from highly durable stainless steel or titanium alloy, the plate resists corrosion and provides long-lasting performance in orthopedic applications. The choice of polished or matte surface enhances compatibility with surgical preferences and reduces glare under operating lights, benefiting both surgeon and patient.
Versatile Locking Screw OptionsMultiple locking and cortical screw holes allow for secure fixation tailored to the specific fracture pattern. The plates compatibility with 4.5 mm and 3.5 mm screws offers flexibility in surgical technique. This versatility makes it a valuable tool in both simple and complex proximal humerus fractures.
FAQs of Proximal Humorous Locking Plate:
Q: How is the Proximal Humorous Locking Plate sterilized before use?
A: The Proximal Humorous Locking Plate is supplied non-sterile. It must be sterilized using standard autoclave methods prior to surgical implantation. Always follow the recommended hospital sterilization protocols to ensure patient safety.
Q: What fractures or conditions is this plate indicated for?
A: This locking plate is specifically indicated for internal fixation of proximal humeral fractures and osteotomies. Its anatomical contour supports proper alignment and stabilization in orthopedic surgical procedures involving the upper humerus.
Q: When should I select a plate with a higher number of holes?
A: Plates with a higher number of holes (up to 10) are chosen for more complex or larger fractures requiring additional screw fixation points. The selection depends on the fracture pattern, bone quality, and surgeons assessment during pre-operative planning.
Q: Where can these plates be used within the hospital setting?
A: These plates are intended for use in operating rooms during orthopedic surgical procedures. They are portable and easy to store, but should always be kept in a clean, dry environment to maintain shelf life and functional integrity.
Q: What benefits does the anatomical contour of the plate offer?
A: The anatomical contour ensures the plate fits closely to the patients proximal humerus, providing high precision, minimizing soft tissue irritation, and promoting better post-operative outcomes. This feature supports quicker recovery and improved mechanical stability.
Q: Can I use both locking and cortical screws with this plate?
A: Yes, the plate is compatible with standard locking as well as cortical screws, with screw hole diameters of either 4.5 mm or 3.5 mm depending on the specific model. This compatibility enables tailored fixation strategies for different surgical requirements.
