Greater Tubercle Locking Plate: A Comprehensive Guide

The greater tubercle locking plate is a revolutionary orthopedic device designed for the management of complex shoulder fractures. Specifically utilized for fractures of the proximal humerus, it offers a stable and anatomically precise fixation, significantly improving patient outcomes. In this comprehensive guide, we will delve into the details of the greater tubercle locking plate, covering its features, advantages, disadvantages, and more.

What is Greater Tubercle Locking Plate？

A greater tubercle locking plate is an orthopedic implant specifically engineered for the treatment of greater tubercle fractures, commonly seen in proximal humeral fractures. The device is designed to stabilize the fractured bone fragments by locking screws into the plate, thereby reducing the risk of displacement.

Greater Tubercle Locking Plate Features

Anatomical design,The plate shape accommodate humerus greater tubercle anatomy,fits close to minimize soft tissue irration.

Bone pins holes are used for bone plates temporary fixation.

Combination locking and compression holes(combi holes),using angular stability or compression according to the requirements.

Greater Tubercle Locking Plate Advantages

Enhanced Stability

Locking screws prevent the plate from shifting, providing a more stable fixation.

Improved Outcomes in Osteoporotic Bone

This plate is particularly beneficial in osteoporotic patients, as it provides a stable construct even in poor-quality bone.

Reduced Risk of Secondary Displacement

The locking mechanism effectively reduces the risk of fracture displacement during the healing process.

Anatomical Restoration

The contoured design helps restore the natural anatomy of the shoulder, which is crucial for optimal range of motion and function.

Greater Tubercle Locking Plate Treatment of Fracture Types

Greater Tubercle Avulsion Fractures

Where the greater tubercle is pulled away from the humerus by the rotator cuff.

Three-Part Fractures

When the greater tubercle and surgical neck are both involved.

Osteoporotic Fractures

Particularly in elderly patients, where bone quality is poor, and stable fixation is challenging.

Complex Comminuted Fractures

When the proximal humerus is shattered into multiple pieces, requiring multi-directional screw placement for stability.

Risks of Greater Tubercle Locking Plate Surgery

Infection

As with all surgeries, there is a risk of infection, which can lead to implant failure or prolonged healing.

Nerve Injury

The proximity of the axillary nerve to the surgical site means there is a risk of nerve injury during plate placement.

Hardware Failure

The screws or plate may loosen or break, necessitating revision surgery.

Impingement Syndrome

Improper plate positioning or scarring can lead to impingement, affecting shoulder movement and causing pain.

Delayed Union or Nonunion

In some cases, the bone may fail to heal as expected, requiring further treatment or surgical intervention.

Greater Tubercle Locking Plate Future Marke

Biodegradable Implants

Development of bioresorbable materials may reduce the need for hardware removal surgeries.

3D Printed Custom Plates

Personalized implants based on patient anatomy using 3D printing technology could offer even better anatomical conformity and fixation.

Minimally Invasive Techniques

Innovations in minimally invasive surgery are making the implantation of locking plates less traumatic, reducing recovery time and improving cosmetic outcomes.

Enhanced Locking Mechanisms

Future improvements in locking technology aim to increase stability while reducing the risk of hardware failure.

Summary

Overall, the greater tubercle locking plate represents a critical development in orthopedic surgery for the management of complex proximal humeral fractures. With continuous innovation, these implants will continue to evolve, offering better patient outcomes and improved surgical techniques.
