Proximal humerus plate 6.0/4.5 as

Art. no. 5.795.XX

The angle-stable proximal humerus plates allow the surgeon to treat simple and complex proximal humeral fractures. Treating these fractures is particularly challenging in terms of bone reconstruction because of the anatomical features of the purely soft-tissue-guided shoulder joint.

Surgical treatment with angle-stable proximal humerus plate for 6.0/4.5 screws

This implant was designed with a focus on providing a precise anatomical fit and the ideal divergent screw position in the area of the humeral head. The plate is suitable for a deltopectoral and deltoid-splitting approach.

Advantages

Suitable for deltopectoral and deltoid-splitting approach
The tubercle can be fixed to the plate through optimised penetration with surgical needles
No additional risk to vital ventromedial blood supply
Access to greater tubercle, frequently subject to dorso-cranial dislocation
The reduction result can easily be reviewed by means of craniocaudal X-ray images
Easy to manipulate fragments using sutures
Can also be used to treat existing (partial) rotator cuff tears
