The LCP Distal Humerus Medial Metaphyseal Plate – 3.5 mm, 4–10 Holes – 74 Pcs, Titanium Grade 5 is a specialized orthopedic fixation system designed to support internal fixation of selected distal humerus fractures. The system provides multiple plate configurations in a 3.5 mm locking compression plate format, giving orthopedic surgeons flexibility when selecting an appropriate fixation construct for the patient’s anatomy and fracture pattern.
The distal humerus has a complex three-dimensional anatomy and requires careful consideration of fracture morphology, bone quality, and fixation strategy. A dedicated medial metaphyseal distal humerus plate is designed to provide fixation along the medial region of the distal humerus and may be used as part of a broader fixation strategy for appropriately selected fractures.
The plate system is available in 4–10 hole configurations, providing different plate lengths for varying fixation requirements. The surgeon can select a suitable plate based on fracture location, required fixation span, available bone stock, and the manufacturer’s recommended surgical technique. Multiple configurations also make the system practical for orthopedic trauma facilities treating a variety of distal humerus injuries.
The 3.5 mm LCP design incorporates locking screw technology. Compatible locking screws engage with threaded plate holes to establish a fixed-angle relationship between the plate and screw. This can provide angular stability and help maintain the intended fixation construct when used appropriately. Screw diameter, length, trajectory, and locking compatibility should always be verified according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
The system is specified as being manufactured from Titanium Grade 5, commonly identified as Ti-6Al-4V. This titanium alloy is widely used in orthopedic implant applications because of its favorable strength-to-weight characteristics, corrosion resistance, and established biocompatibility. Exact material certification and applicable implant standards should be confirmed from the manufacturer’s technical documentation.
The 74-piece configuration provides a broad selection of plates and associated fixation components for professional orthopedic facilities. A multi-component system can help streamline implant preparation and inventory management while giving the surgical team several options for fracture fixation.
Before implantation, each plate and associated component should be inspected for damage, deformation, corrosion, surface defects, or compromised packaging. Only compatible screws and instruments should be used with the plate. Implant components should be handled according to the manufacturer’s instructions for use and applicable medical-device requirements.
Implantable plates and screws are generally intended for single-patient use unless explicitly stated otherwise by the manufacturer. Previously used, damaged, or compromised implants should not be reused for implantation.
The LCP Distal Humerus Medial Metaphyseal Plate System is intended for use by qualified orthopedic and trauma surgeons trained in fracture fixation techniques. Plate selection, reduction, positioning, screw placement, and postoperative management should be determined based on patient anatomy, fracture characteristics, bone quality, and the manufacturer’s surgical technique.
This product is suitable for orthopedic hospitals, trauma centers, surgical facilities, and medical distributors seeking a 3.5 mm Titanium Grade 5 distal humerus locking plate system for selected fracture fixation procedures.
