The LCP PHILOS Plate 3.5mm Proximal Humerus (4 to 7 Holes) with Screws is a precision orthopedic implant system developed for fixation of fractures involving the proximal humerus near the shoulder joint. The PHILOS (Proximal Humeral Internal Locking System) design provides superior angular stability and reliable fixation in complex fracture patterns.
This implant is commonly used for displaced, comminuted, osteoporotic, and multi-part proximal humeral fractures. The anatomically contoured plate closely follows the natural curvature of the proximal humerus, ensuring accurate fit, stable fixation, and restoration of shoulder anatomy.
The locking compression plate (LCP) technology allows 3.5mm locking screws to securely lock into the plate, creating a fixed-angle construct that improves mechanical stability and minimizes the risk of screw loosening. This is especially beneficial in osteoporotic bone where strong fixation is critical.
The proximal section of the plate contains multiple screw options for subchondral fixation of the humeral head, providing enhanced support and improved fracture stabilization. The plate is available in 4 to 7 hole configurations, allowing flexibility based on fracture complexity and patient anatomy.
The low-profile design helps reduce soft tissue irritation while maintaining excellent biomechanical support for early mobilization and rehabilitation.
Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel or titanium (depending on configuration), the implant provides excellent strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term biocompatibility. Precision-engineered screw holes ensure accurate placement and dependable intraoperative performance.
This system is widely used in orthopedic trauma surgery and veterinary orthopedic procedures for proximal humerus fracture fixation.
The set is fully sterilizable and supplied in professional surgical packaging for safe handling and efficient operating room workflow.
