The Proximal Humerus Plate 3.5 is part of the LOQTEQ® plate system and unifies angular stability with modern plate design. Special features include the gliding-locking holes in the plate shaft. They enable compression and angle-stable locking in a single step.

For the manufacture of angle stable plate systems materials are used which have been proven to be successful in medical technology for decades. The anatomical plates and bone screws are made of titanium alloy. All materials used are standardized in national and international norms. They are characterized by good biocompatibility, a high degree of reliability against allergic reactions and good mechanical properties.

Features

The LOQTEQ® Proximal Humerus Plate 3.5 is a combination of the clinical excellence and experience gathered with the existing humeral locking plate, combined with LOQTEQ Technology and  best practice in the market.

• The proven design prevents subacromial impingement

• Diverging  screw angles  provide stronger rotational stability

• Cranial screws  support medial fragments and  help to stabiliize the reposition

• Suture holes  allow secure fixation of the tubercle

• Holes for K-Wires allow perfect primary fixation options

Indications

• Displaced and unstable fractures with two, three or four fragments

• Reconstructable fractures of the humeral head

• Combined diaphyseal fractures

• Non-unions

• Osteotomies of the proximal humerus

Contraindications

• Infection or inflammation (localized or systemic)

• Allergies against the implant material

• Acute or chronic osteomyelitis at or close to the surgical field

• High anesthesia risk patients

• Severe soft tissue swelling impacting normal wound healing

• Insufficient soft tissue coverage

• Fractures in children and adolescents with epiphyseal plates not yet ossified
