The Distal Humerus Locking Plate Set Titanium, 4 10 Hole is a comprehensive orthopedic trauma fixation system developed for surgical stabilization of appropriately selected fractures involving the distal humerus. The system combines titanium distal humerus locking plates in 4, 6, 8, and 10-hole configurations with compatible LCP screws, providing a broad selection of implant options for different fracture patterns, anatomical requirements, and fixation strategies.
The distal humerus is the lower portion of the upper arm and forms a critical part of the elbow joint. Fractures in this anatomical region can be complex because of the proximity of the joint surface and surrounding neurovascular and soft-tissue structures. A purpose-designed distal humerus locking plate provides a stable platform for fracture fixation following appropriate reduction and surgical preparation.
The availability of 4-, 6-, 8-, and 10-hole plate configurations allows the surgeon to select a suitable plate length and fixation span according to the fracture morphology and patient’s anatomy. Shorter plates can be appropriate for selected fractures requiring limited fixation coverage, while longer configurations may provide additional fixation options when clinically indicated. Final implant selection should be based on preoperative imaging, fracture pattern, bone quality, intraoperative findings, and the surgeon’s established fixation strategy.
The locking plate design allows compatible LCP screws to engage with the threaded plate holes, creating an angularly stable screw-to-plate connection. This fixed-angle relationship can provide a stable construct in appropriately selected fracture fixation procedures. Locking fixation may be particularly useful when maintaining stable fixation is challenging because of periarticular anatomy or compromised bone quality. The surgeon should determine the appropriate combination of locking and conventional fixation according to the specific implant system and surgical objective.
The plates are manufactured from titanium, a material widely used in orthopedic implant applications. Titanium offers favorable strength-to-weight characteristics, corrosion resistance, and established use in medical implant systems. Its mechanical and material properties make it suitable for appropriately designed fracture fixation devices where durable implant performance is required.
The included LCP screws are designed to work with the compatible locking plate system. The locking interface helps secure the screw within the plate hole and provides a stable relationship between the fixation screw and plate. Correct screw diameter, length, trajectory, and insertion technique are essential to achieve the intended fixation construct and must be selected according to patient anatomy and the manufacturer’s specifications.
The 99-piece configuration provides a broad selection of distal humeral plates and fixation screws for professional orthopedic environments. Such a comprehensive system can be useful for hospitals, orthopedic trauma centers, surgical departments, and authorized medical-device distributors requiring multiple distal humerus fixation options. Having different plate lengths available can support implant selection according to the individual fracture and anatomical requirements of each case.
Distal humerus locking plates may be considered for appropriately selected fractures requiring operative stabilization. Depending on the fracture configuration, surgical treatment may involve fracture reduction, restoration of alignment, preparation of the fixation site, plate positioning, and placement of compatible screws. The exact procedure and fixation construct should be determined by a qualified orthopedic surgeon according to the patient’s clinical condition and the manufacturer’s approved surgical technique.
Proper implant handling is essential for maintaining device integrity. The titanium distal humerus plates and LCP screws should be stored, inspected, handled, and implanted according to the manufacturer’s instructions for use and applicable medical-device regulations. Implant components designated for single use should not be reused. Reusable surgical instruments should undergo validated cleaning, inspection, packaging, and sterilization according to manufacturer instructions and healthcare-facility protocols.
The Distal Humerus Safety Locking Plate – 4, 6, 8 & 10 Holes (Titanium) with LCP Screws – 99 pcs provides a versatile orthopedic trauma fixation solution for appropriately selected distal humeral fractures. Its multiple plate configurations, titanium construction, and compatible LCP screw system make it suitable for professional elbow and upper-extremity fracture fixation applications where locking plate stabilization is clinically indicated.

FAQs
1. What is a Distal Humerus Safety Locking Plate used for?
A Distal Humerus Safety Locking Plate is an orthopedic fixation implant designed to stabilize appropriately selected fractures of the distal humerus. It provides a fixation platform for securing fracture fragments after appropriate reduction.
2. What plate sizes are included in this distal humerus system?
The system includes 4, 6, 8, and 10-hole plate configurations, providing multiple plate lengths and fixation capacities.
3. What type of screws are included with the titanium distal humerus plates?
The system is specified with compatible LCP screws, which are designed to engage with the locking plate holes and create an angularly stable fixation construct.
4. What material are the distal humerus plates made from?
The plates are manufactured from titanium, a material commonly used in orthopedic implants because of its favorable strength-to-weight characteristics, corrosion resistance, and established medical applications.
5. How many pieces are included in this distal humerus locking plate set?
The product is specified as a 99-piece set, consisting of multiple distal humerus plate configurations and compatible LCP fixation screws.
6. What does LCP mean in orthopedic fixation?
LCP stands for Locking Compression Plate. LCP systems use compatible locking screws that engage with threaded plate holes to establish a stable screw-to-plate relationship.
7. Can this locking plate system be used for every distal humerus fracture?
No. Implant selection depends on fracture morphology, anatomical location, bone quality, patient-specific factors, imaging findings, and the surgical objective. A qualified orthopedic surgeon should determine the appropriate implant configuration.
