The 3.5mm Proximal Humerus PHILOS Plate is a specialized orthopedic implant used for fixation of fractures involving the proximal humerus near the shoulder joint. PHILOS (Proximal Humeral Internal Locking System) technology provides strong angular stability and reliable fixation for complex shoulder fractures.
This implant is commonly used for proximal humeral fractures including displaced, comminuted, osteoporotic, and multi-fragment fracture patterns. The anatomically pre-contoured plate matches the natural shape of the proximal humerus, helping restore proper shoulder alignment and joint stability.
The locking compression plate system allows 3.5mm locking screws to securely engage within the plate, forming a fixed-angle construct that enhances stability, reduces screw loosening, and maintains fracture reduction during healing. This is especially beneficial in weak or osteoporotic bone.
Multiple proximal screw holes allow multi-directional screw placement into the humeral head, providing strong subchondral support and improved fixation strength in complex fracture configurations.
The low-profile design minimizes soft tissue irritation while maintaining excellent biomechanical strength for early mobilization and rehabilitation.
Manufactured from premium surgical-grade titanium or stainless steel (depending on configuration), the implant offers excellent durability, corrosion resistance, and long-term biocompatibility. Precision-machined holes ensure accurate screw placement and reliable surgical performance.
This system is widely used in orthopedic trauma surgery and veterinary orthopedic procedures for shoulder fracture management.
The implant is fully sterilizable and supplied in professional surgical packaging for safe handling and efficient operating room workflow.
