TriLock Proximal Humerus Plates 3.5
Features
- Anatomically optimized fit
- Additional bending of the XL plates follows the anatomy of the shaft
- Screws passing through the spiral blade increase the stability of the construct
- Markings for the two screws passing through the spiral blade
- Oblong hole for flexible positioning of the plate and for fixation of the spiral blade
- K-wire holes for temporary fixation
- Rounded edges for soft tissue protection
- Suture holes with rounded edges
- TriLock – multidirectional (±15°) and angular stable locking technology in each screw hole *
* Exception: oblong hole
Color Code
Green: APTUS 3.5
Clinical benefits
- The asymmetrical form of the plate with posterior plate holes supports the fixation of the greater tubercle
- The anterior twist of the implant shaft may offer protection of the deltoid insertion
- Optional spiral blades reduce the risk of secondary varus displacement of the humeral head by means of additional calcar support1
- Spiral blades in a 40° or 50° angle allow for a flexible approach to the individual fracture pattern
- Suture holes with rounded edges facilitate soft tissue fixation with the plate already in position
- Diverging screw orientation in the proximal area supports a stable bone purchase
- Uniform screw diameter of 3.5 mm for TriLock screws and cortical screws
- Two TriLock screws passing through the spiral blade increase the overall stability of the construct
