The PHILOS Proximal Humerus LCP Plates (3 to 7 Holes) with LCP Instrument Set are advanced orthopedic implants used for fixation of fractures involving the proximal humerus near the shoulder joint. The PHILOS (Proximal Humeral Internal Locking System) design provides strong angular stability and reliable fixation for complex shoulder fractures.
This system is commonly used for displaced, comminuted, multi-fragment, and osteoporotic proximal humerus fractures where stable fixation is required to restore shoulder alignment and enable early mobilization. The anatomically pre-contoured plate closely matches the natural curvature of the proximal humerus, ensuring accurate fit and stable biomechanical support.
The locking compression plate (LCP) technology 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 during the healing process.
The proximal segment of the plate includes multiple screw options for subchondral support within the humeral head, improving fixation strength especially in weak or osteoporotic bone conditions. The plate is available in 3 to 7 hole configurations, offering flexibility based on fracture complexity and patient anatomy.
The included LCP instrument set provides all necessary surgical tools for drilling, measuring, and precise screw insertion, ensuring accurate placement and efficient operative workflow.
Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel or titanium (depending on configuration), the implant offers excellent strength, corrosion resistance, fatigue resistance, and long-term biocompatibility.
This system is widely used in orthopedic trauma surgery and veterinary orthopedic procedures for proximal humerus fracture management.
The implant set is fully sterilizable and supplied in professional surgical packaging for safe handling and efficient operating room workflow.
