Distal Lateral Humeral Locking Plate

What is Distal Lateral Humeral Locking Plate？

The GPC distal humeral locking plate with lateral support is indicated for fixing lateral column in intercondylar and supracondylar fractures of humerus and as a single plate in distal humerus fractures. It is available in stainless steel and titanium.It is available in 4 holes to 12 holes(2 holes increment).

Indications:

• Intercondylar fracture distal humerus

• Supracondylar fracture distal humerus

• Osteotomy around distal humerus

• Fracture non- union distal humerus

Specifications

• Anatomically shaped- right or left

• The plates are pre-shaped to match the anatomy of the distal humerus with a limited contact low profile design

• Tapered tip for submuscular insertion with minimal soft tissue stripping

• Uniform stiffness of all segments, prolonging fatigue life of the implant

• Smaller area of post-fixation avascularity

• The combination of conventional and locking screws offers optimum fixation regardless of bone density

• Screw-heads are recessed into the plate holes for minimum screw prominence

• Screw trajectory designed for optimal fixation of comminuted fractures

• Bending of the distal part is recommended to adjust the optimal position of plate for placement of long screws through the articular block

• Bending to be done in the region of combination holes as it frequently alters the thread pattern of locking hole

• Available in both Titanium & Stainless steel
