Proximal humerus plate Five 4.0/3.5 vas
The proximal humerus plate Five is suitable for a deltopectoral and a deltoid-splitting approach. The surgeon can chose between three angle-stable screw types to fill the head holes in the plate head.
Treatment with the variable angle-stable and
angle-stable proximal humerus plate
for 4.0/3.5 screws
The variable angle-stable / angle-stable proximal humerus plates allow the surgeon to treat simple and complex proximal humeral fractures. The humerus plate Five is suitable for a deltopectoral and a deltoid-splitting approach. Temporary fixation of plate and the guide block can be achieved regardless of screw application.
The tubercle can be fixed to the plate through optimised penetration with surgical needles. The surgeon can chose between three angle-stable screw types to fill the head holes in the plate head. The surgeon can use screws with diameters of Ø 3.5 mm cortical bone/Ø 4.0 mm cortical bone (titanium only) and Ø 4.0 mm cancellous bone. There is no additional risk to vital ventromedial blood supply.
Advantages
- Guide block for the head area, for easy fitting
- Suitable for deltopectoral and deltoid-splitting approach
- 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
- 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 (titanium only) and Ø 4.0 mm cancellous
- 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
