Guide frame for minimally invasive approach
Guide block for the head area, for easy fitting
Suitable for deltopectoral and deltoid-splitting approach
Optimal adjustment of plate height using the guide block
Temporary fixation of plate and guide block regardless of screw application
Improved ability to fix the tubercle to the plate through optimised penetration with surgical needles
The surgeon can choose between three angle-stable screw types for the head holes in the plate head – Ø 3.5 mm cortical/ Ø 4.0 mm cortical and Ø 4.0 mm cancellous
Removal of metal made easier by the TiOB® surface coating on the plates (type II anodising)
No additional risk to vital ventromedial blood supply
Access to greater tubercle, frequently subject to dorso-cranial dislocation
The reduction result can easily be reviewed by means of craniocaudal X-ray images
Easy to manipulate fragments using sutures
Can also be used to treat existing (partial) rotator cuff tears

8 head holes
Variable angle-stable
Titanium
For screws Ø 4.0/3.5 mm
Plate thickness: 3 mm
Surface: TiOB®
Combination holes in shaft for standard or Ø 3.5 mm angle-stable cortical screws
Variable angle-stable holes in the head area for Ø 4.0 mm angle-stable cancellous screws, Ø 4.0 mm angle-stable cortical screws or Ø 3.5 mm angle-stable cortical screws
Elongated hole for intra-operative alignment of the plate

Available lengths: 77 mm to 157 mm (8/3-hole to 8/8-hole)
The system name VaWiKo® is derived from the German designation “Variabel winkelstabile Kombination”, which translates into English as “variable angle-stable combination”. This system combines conventional plating technologies with angle-stable locking at variable angles.
