The Locking Distal Humerus Medial Plates are advanced orthopedic fixation implants used for the treatment of fractures involving the distal humerus on the medial (inner) side of the elbow joint. These plates are anatomically pre-contoured to match the natural shape of the distal humerus, ensuring precise fit, stable fixation, and proper restoration of elbow joint alignment.
The medial column plays a critical role in elbow stability, and fixation using this plate provides strong biomechanical support, particularly in complex fractures such as intra-articular, supracondylar, and comminuted distal humerus injuries. It is often used in combination with lateral plating techniques for dual-column fixation in severe fracture patterns.
The locking compression plate (LCP) system allows locking screws to securely engage within the plate, forming a fixed-angle construct that enhances stability and reduces the risk of screw loosening or loss of reduction during healing. This is especially beneficial in osteoporotic or weak bone conditions.
Multiple screw hole configurations allow surgeons to achieve optimal fixation based on fracture pattern and patient anatomy. The low-profile design helps reduce soft tissue irritation while maintaining high structural strength and durability.
Manufactured from premium surgical-grade titanium or stainless steel (depending on configuration), the implant offers excellent strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term biocompatibility. Precision-engineered screw holes ensure accurate placement and reliable intraoperative performance.
This implant is widely used in orthopedic trauma surgery and veterinary orthopedic procedures for distal humerus fracture management.
The system is fully sterilizable and supplied in professional surgical packaging for safe handling and efficient operating room workflow.
