The Locking Proximal Humeral PHILOS Multi Angle Plates with LCP Screws (Stainless Steel) are specialized orthopedic implants used for fixation of fractures involving the proximal humerus near the shoulder joint. PHILOS (Proximal Humeral Internal Locking System) technology provides strong angular stability and reliable fixation for complex shoulder fractures.
The multi-angle locking system allows surgeons to insert locking screws at variable angles, improving flexibility during surgery and enabling optimal screw placement according to fracture pattern and bone quality. This provides enhanced fixation in osteoporotic bone and difficult multi-fragment fractures.
These plates are commonly used for displaced, comminuted, intra-articular, and osteoporotic proximal humeral fractures. The anatomically pre-contoured design closely matches the natural shape of the proximal humerus, helping restore proper shoulder alignment and joint stability.
The locking compression plate (LCP) system allows locking screws to securely engage within the plate holes, creating a fixed-angle construct that minimizes screw loosening and maintains fracture reduction throughout the healing process.
The low-profile plate design helps reduce soft tissue irritation while maintaining excellent biomechanical support for early mobilization and rehabilitation.
Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the implant offers exceptional strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term durability. Precision-engineered screw holes ensure accurate placement and reliable intraoperative performance.
This system is widely used in orthopedic trauma surgery and veterinary orthopedic procedures for proximal humerus fracture management.
The set is fully sterilizable and supplied in professional surgical packaging for safe handling and efficient operating room workflow.
