The 3.5mm Locking Proximal Humerus PHILOS Plates (4 to 10 Holes) are advanced orthopedic implants used for fixation of fractures involving the proximal humerus near the shoulder joint. The PHILOS (Proximal Humeral Internal Locking System) design provides strong angular stability and reliable fixation for complex shoulder fractures.
These plates are commonly used for displaced, comminuted, multi-fragment, and osteoporotic proximal humerus fractures. The anatomically pre-contoured shape closely matches the natural curvature of the proximal humerus, ensuring precise fit, stable fixation, and restoration of shoulder joint alignment.
The locking compression system allows 3.5mm locking screws to securely engage within the plate, forming a fixed-angle construct that improves stability, reduces screw loosening, and maintains fracture reduction during healing.
The proximal segment includes multiple screw options for subchondral fixation in the humeral head, providing strong support even in weak or osteoporotic bone. The 4 to 10 hole range allows flexibility for different fracture patterns and surgical requirements.
Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel or titanium (depending on configuration), the implant offers excellent strength, corrosion resistance, fatigue resistance, and long-term biocompatibility. Precision-engineered screw holes ensure accurate placement and reliable fixation performance.
The low-profile design reduces soft tissue irritation while maintaining strong biomechanical stability for early mobilization and functional recovery.
This system is widely used in orthopedic trauma surgery and veterinary orthopedic procedures for proximal humerus fracture management.
The implant is fully sterilizable and supplied in professional surgical packaging for safe handling and efficient operating room workflow.
