The greater tubercle Locking Plate is suitable for proximal humerus fracture fixation,which is proximal humerus locking plate.
Features and Advantages
1. Titanium is more suitable as a raw material for orthopedic implant because of its good biocompatibility, high hardness and good corrosion resistance.
2. The surface is anodized to improve the hardness, wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the locking plate.
3. Low profile design and anatomical morphology design can better fit the shape of humeral tubercle and reduce soft tissue injury to patients.
4. Combination design of locking hole and pressure hole,angle stabilization or pressure can be carried out according to needs.
5. Limited contact design, it has the advantages of protecting the blood supply under the plate and fast fracture healing.
6. Kirschner pin holes are used for temporary fixation of Anatomic Titanium Plate.
Medical Tips
Humerus greater tuberosity fracture is common clinically, mostly in middle-aged men, the incidence of about 20% of the proximal humerus fracture, often due to shoulder dislocation or instantaneous high energy external force, about 10%-30% of the anterior dislocation of shoulder joint patients with greater tuberosity fracture or accompanied by rotator cuff injury. Common in elderly patients, only 2mm fracture displacement can significantly increase the force required for joint abduction. If not treated in time, the acromial impingement sign and rotator cuff dysfunction are likely to be left in the later stage, so early diagnosis and treatment is particularly important.
