The 3.5mm Proximal Humerus PHILOS Plate Locking Screws are high-precision orthopedic implants used in conjunction with PHILOS (Proximal Humeral Internal Locking System) plates for stable fixation of proximal humerus fractures. These screws are specifically designed to provide strong angular stability within the locking plate system.
They are commonly used in the treatment of displaced, comminuted, and osteoporotic proximal humerus fractures where secure fixation and reliable bone support are required. The locking mechanism ensures that the screw head locks into the plate, creating a fixed-angle construct that enhances overall stability.
The 3.5mm screw size is optimized for proximal humerus applications, providing strong fixation in the humeral head and metaphyseal region. Multiple screw lengths are available to accommodate different anatomical and surgical requirements.
The locking design helps reduce the risk of screw loosening and maintains fracture alignment during the healing process. This is especially important in osteoporotic bone where conventional screw fixation may be less effective.
Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel or titanium (depending on configuration), the screws offer excellent strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term biocompatibility. They are designed for compatibility with standard PHILOS locking plates.
These screws are widely used in orthopedic trauma surgery and veterinary orthopedic procedures for proximal humerus fracture management.
The implants are fully sterilizable and supplied in professional surgical packaging for safe handling and efficient surgical workflow.
