The Proximal Humeral Multi Angle PHILOS Locking Plates are advanced orthopedic fixation systems used for the treatment of complex fractures of the proximal humerus near the shoulder joint. Based on PHILOS (Proximal Humerus Internal Locking System) design principles, these plates provide strong, stable fixation while preserving the anatomy of the shoulder region.
The plate is anatomically pre-contoured to match the natural shape of the proximal humerus, ensuring accurate fit, reduced soft tissue irritation, and optimal biomechanical alignment. This helps maintain fracture reduction and supports early functional recovery of the shoulder joint.
The multi-angle locking technology allows screws to be inserted at variable angles, enabling secure fixation of multiple fracture fragments. This feature is especially beneficial in comminuted fractures, osteoporotic bone, and complex proximal humeral injuries where standard fixation may be insufficient.
The locking compression system creates a fixed-angle construct between the screws and plate, enhancing overall stability and reducing the risk of screw loosening or implant failure. This ensures reliable long-term fixation and improved surgical outcomes.
Manufactured from premium surgical-grade titanium or stainless steel (depending on configuration), the implants offer excellent strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term biocompatibility. Precision-engineered screw holes ensure accurate placement and consistent performance.
These implants are widely used in orthopedic trauma surgery and veterinary orthopedic procedures for shoulder and proximal humerus fracture management.
The system is fully sterilizable and supplied in professional surgical packaging for safe handling and efficient operating room workflow.
