What Is a Humerus Neck Fracture Plate?
A humerus neck fracture plate, also referred to as a proximal humerus locking plate, is an internal fixation implant designed for the surgical stabilization of fractures occurring at the proximal humerus and surgical neck region.
This plate system is widely used in shoulder trauma surgery to restore anatomical alignment, provide angular stability, and enable early functional rehabilitation. Locking plate technology allows secure fixation even in osteoporotic bone, making it a preferred solution for elderly and complex fracture cases.
Clinical Indications for Proximal Humerus Neck Fracture Fixation
Humerus neck fracture plates are indicated for a wide range of shoulder and upper arm injuries, including:
Surgical neck fractures of the humerus
Two-part, three-part, and four-part proximal humerus fractures
Displaced fractures requiring open reduction and internal fixation
Osteoporotic fractures in elderly patients
Comminuted fractures with metaphyseal involvement
These implants are commonly applied in trauma centers, orthopedic hospitals, and shoulder reconstruction procedures worldwide.
Anatomical Locking Plate Design for Proximal Humerus Fractures
Pre-contoured Plate Geometry for Proximal Humerus Anatomy
The plate features an anatomically pre-shaped design that closely matches the natural curvature of the proximal humerus. This reduces intraoperative plate bending, improves fracture reduction accuracy, and ensures optimal plate-to-bone contact.
Multidirectional Locking Screw Configuration
Multiple locking screw holes in the humeral head region allow multidirectional screw placement, enabling surgeons to achieve stable fixation across different fracture patterns. Angular stability helps prevent secondary collapse, especially in osteoporotic bone.
Low-profile Titanium Plate to Reduce Soft Tissue Irritation
The low-profile plate design minimizes soft tissue irritation and reduces the risk of subacromial impingement, improving postoperative comfort and shoulder mobility.
Surgical Advantages in Proximal Humerus Neck Fracture Treatment
Provides strong angular stability for early mobilization
Enhances fixation strength in poor bone quality
Supports minimally invasive surgical approaches
Maintains fracture reduction under physiological load
Facilitates faster recovery and functional outcomes
