INDICATIONS :
The Humerus Locking Plating System is intended for fractures and
fracture dislocations, osteotomies, and non-unions of the proximal
Humerus.

IDEAL PLACEMENT OF THE

PLATE:
Unique & easily accessible
suture holes allow for effective
stabilization of the tuberosities.

1.5cm from the proximal edge

of the greater tuberosity,
avoiding any problem of
impingement.

Optimized oblong hole length

to allow for adjustment of plate
height.

Alongside the bicipital groove.

OPTIMA L PROXIM A L S CREW POSITION

BLUNT-TIPPED SCREWS:
Limit protrusion through the
articular surface.
Allow
to
be
as
close
as possible to the articular
surface for a better construct.

Fixed angle divergent screws

(targeting the inferior quadrants)
and polyaxial locking screws
allow optimal position in the
humeral head.

Screw diameter: 4.5mm

Core diameter: 3.5mm

A SIMPLE A ND REPROD UCTI V E PRO CESS

STEP 1
Hole n1

Drill
guide,
with
its
2mm
K-wire guide, ensures an accurate
placement of a centering screw in the
humeral head.

STEP 2
The centering screw determines
the best plate position and optimized
xed angle screw placement.

STEP 3
Three variable angle locking screws
to cope with every fracture pattern.

STEP 1

SUR GICAL A PPRO A CH

The patient is placed in the beach-chair position.

A deltopectoral approach, passing outside of the cephalic vein, is recommended.
Retract the cephalic vein laterally and the pectoralis major medially.

STEP 2

FR ACT UR E R ED U CTION
Reduce the fracture
through traction and
manipulation and
provisionaly stabilize
the fracture fragments
with K-wires.

STEP 3

In valgus fracture
patterns, the head must
be elevated prior to
provisional xation.

This is facilitated
by manipulating the
tuberosity with sutures
placed through the
substance of the
infraspinatus. These
sutures will later be used
as supplemental xation
when they are secured
to the plate.

The greater tuberosity

is anatomically reduced
and pinned to the shaft.

Image intensication is
necessary to conrm
reduction.

OSTEOSYNTHESIS PRO CED URE

CENTER ING SCR EW

Place the plate alongside
the bicipital groove and
approximately 1.5cm
distal to the top of the
greater tuberosity.
Insert a 4.5mm cortical
screw into the elongated
slot and x the plate to
the shaft. Provisionally
secure the plate to the
bone with 2.0mm K-wires.
Insert the drill guide with
its K-wire guide through
hole N1. Insert a 2.0mm
K-wire to target the center
of the humeral head.
Check position and
trajectory with the C-arm.
Then drill at 3.5mm and
insert the rst 4.5mm
locking screw.

S U R GI C A L T ECHNI Q U E
FIXED - ANGLE DI V ER GENT SCREW S

Use the drill guide

(3.5mm) and drill 4
divergent xed-angle
screws.
This precise screw pattern
enhances resistance to
varus forces.
Blunt-tipped screws limit
protrusion through the
articular surface.

POLYA XI A L LOCK ING SCR EWS

Orient and lock the rst
2 proximal screws & the
rst metaphyseal screw
according to the fracture
pattern.
As the highest bone density
is located in the inferior
quadrants, every attempt
should be made to keep the
screws descending.

STEP 4

SUT UR E OF THE T UB EROSITIES AND C- A RM CONTROL

Use the 3.5 AO drill guide

and place the remaining
distal cortical screws,
unlocking or locking at the
surgeons preference.
Repair the tuberosity to the
plate through the suture
holes.
Assess the nal reduction
under uoroscopy.

Instrumentation has been simplied so that only standard 3.5 drill bit, and a multipurpose screwdriver is needed
for insertion of both cortical and cancellous screws.
The screw driver has a snap t to the screw that secures the screw during insertion and assists in removal of
the screw from the surgical tray.
