proximal humeral locking plate
The proximal humeral locking plate is a sophisticated orthopedic implant designed to stabilize fractures in the proximal humerus, which is the upper part of the arm bone near the shoulder. Its main functions include providing anatomical alignment, maintaining reduction of the fracture, and enabling early mobilization of the shoulder joint. Technological features of this plate include a low-profile design that minimizes soft tissue irritation, and the unique locking screw mechanism that offers angular stability, reducing the risk of screw loosening. The applications of the proximal humeral locking plate are diverse, from high-energy trauma cases to osteoporotic fractures, making it an indispensable tool in the arsenal of orthopedic surgeons.
