The 3.5mm Distal Humerus Lateral Locking Plates (5 to 10 Holes Left/Right) with Screws are advanced orthopedic fixation implants used for treatment of fractures involving the distal humerus near the elbow joint. These plates are anatomically pre-contoured for left and right humeral anatomy, ensuring precise fit, stable fixation, and restoration of proper elbow alignment.
This implant is commonly used for distal humeral fractures including intra-articular, supracondylar, metaphyseal, and comminuted fracture patterns. The lateral positioning of the plate provides strong structural support along the outer aspect of the humerus, which is essential for maintaining elbow stability during healing.
The locking compression plate (LCP) system allows 3.5mm locking screws to securely engage within the plate holes, forming a fixed-angle construct that enhances stability, reduces screw loosening, and maintains fracture reduction throughout the healing process. This is especially beneficial in osteoporotic or complex fractures.
The plate is available in multiple hole configurations (5–10 holes), allowing surgeons to select the appropriate length according to fracture severity and patient anatomy. The low-profile design minimizes soft tissue irritation while maintaining high mechanical strength.
Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel or titanium (depending on configuration), the implant offers excellent durability, corrosion resistance, and long-term biocompatibility. Precision-engineered holes ensure accurate screw placement and reliable intraoperative performance.
This system is widely used in orthopedic trauma surgery and veterinary orthopedic procedures for distal humerus fracture management.
The implant is fully sterilizable and supplied in professional surgical packaging for safe handling and efficient operating room workflow.
