Proximal Humerus Locking Plate: A Comprehensive Guide

The proximal humerus locking plate is an innovative orthopedic implant used to treat complex fractures of the proximal humerus. Designed to provide anatomical fixation and stable support, it is particularly effective in addressing fractures where traditional fixation methods may be inadequate. This guide will provide an in-depth overview of the proximal humerus locking plate, including its features, benefits, risks, and potential future developments.

What is Proximal Humerus Locking Plate？

proximal humerus locking plate is a specialized orthopedic implant used for the treatment of fractures involving the proximal end of the humerus. It is designed to stabilize and fix fractures through the use of locking screws, These plates are most commonly used for complex and unstable fractures, particularly in elderly patients with osteoporotic bone.

Proximal Humerus Locking Plate Features

- Distal combi holes using angular stability or compression according to the requirements, use 3.5mm locking screws or 3.5mm cortical screws.

- Lengthen hole for better positioning and humerus length adjustment.

- Articular multi-holes design is convenient for fixing selection, with stable fixation.

- Limited-comtacr design with advantages as preservation of blood supply to soft tissue and bone, reunion of the bone fractures.

- Tapered end is used for insertion to keep tissue viability.

Proximal Humerus Locking Plate Advantages

Reduced Risk of Implant Failure

By locking the screws into the plate, the risk of implant failure due to screw pull-out is minimized.

Customized Fixation

The ability to place screws in multiple directions allows for a customized fixation strategy based on the specific fracture pattern and patient anatomy.

Minimized Soft Tissue Irritation

The low-profile design reduces the risk of impingement and minimizes irritation to surrounding soft tissues.

Proximal Humerus Locking Plate Treatment of Fracture Types

Two-Part Fractures

Typically involving the surgical neck of the humerus, these fractures can be effectively stabilized with a locking plate.

Three-Part Fractures

Involving both the greater tubercle and the surgical neck, these fractures require precise fixation to ensure proper alignment and stability.

Four-Part Fractures

These complex fractures involve multiple fracture lines and can benefit from the multi-directional screw placement provided by the locking plate.

Fractures with Osteoporotic Bone

Elderly patients with poor bone quality require stable fixation, which is effectively provided by the locking plate's fixed-angle mechanism.

Fracture Dislocations

Complex fracture-dislocations of the proximal humerus require stable fixation to restore shoulder stability, which the locking plate can provide.

Risks of Proximal Humerus Locking Plate Surgery

Infection

There is always a risk of infection following surgery, which can compromise implant stability and require additional treatment.

Nerve Injury

The axillary nerve is at risk during proximal humerus surgery, and injury to this nerve can lead to motor and sensory deficits.

Hardware Failure

Screw loosening, breakage, or plate failure can occur, particularly if the bone fails to heal properly.

Shoulder Stiffness

Postoperative stiffness can develop, particularly if rehabilitation is delayed or restricted.

Proximal Humerus Locking Plate Future Marke

3D Printed Implants

Custom 3D printed plates based on patient anatomy are being developed to provide a better fit and more personalized fixation.

Minimally Invasive Techniques

Innovations in minimally invasive surgical techniques are making the implantation of locking plates less traumatic, resulting in faster recovery times and reduced scarring.

Enhanced Locking Mechanisms

Future developments in locking screw technology aim to improve fixation stability while reducing the risk of hardware failure.

Summary

The proximal humerus locking plate is an essential tool in the management of complex shoulder fractures. With continuous advancements in design and materials, the future looks bright for improving patient outcomes and surgical techniques, ensuring better recovery and functionality for individuals suffering from complex proximal humerus fractures.
