The 3.5mm Proximal Humerus Plate PHILOS 4 to 9 Holes is a specialized anatomical locking compression plate designed for the treatment of complex proximal humerus fractures. It is widely used in orthopedic trauma surgery and veterinary orthopedics where stable fixation and precise anatomical alignment of the shoulder region are required.
This PHILOS plate features a pre-contoured anatomical design that matches the natural shape of the proximal humerus, allowing accurate placement and improved bone-to-plate contact. The locking screw system provides angular stability, reducing the risk of screw loosening and maintaining rigid fixation even in osteoporotic or comminuted fractures.
The plate is available in 4 to 9 hole configurations, offering flexibility for different fracture patterns and patient anatomies. This range allows surgeons to select the appropriate length for optimal stabilization and reconstruction of the humeral head and shaft.
Manufactured from premium surgical-grade titanium or stainless steel (depending on configuration), the implant provides excellent biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, and long-term durability. The combination of locking and cortical screw compatibility ensures versatile fixation options during surgery.
This implant is commonly used in shoulder fractures, proximal humerus reconstruction, and veterinary orthopedic procedures involving small to large animals. Its low-profile design reduces soft tissue irritation while providing strong mechanical support for bone healing.
The plate is fully sterilizable and supplied in organized orthopedic systems for efficient surgical workflow and safe clinical handling.
