Humerus Internal Fixation

Home > Orthopedics > Trauma > Humerus Internal Fixation

The 3.5 mm LPS Proximal Humerus Plates are part of the Meril’s Locking Plate System (LPS) and address complex fractures of the proximal humerus.

Key Features

Precontoured right and left plates for anatomical shape

Suture holes around the perimeter of the proximal end

Anatomically precontoured, rounded shaft profile minimizes the risk of soft tissue irritation between the plate and surrounding soft tissue

Plate sits distal to the rotator cuff to reduce impingement

Indication

The 3.5 mm LPS Proximal Humerus Plate is indicated for fractures and fracture dislocations, osteotomies and non-unions of the proximal humerus, particularly for patients with osteopenic bone.

The Merils 2.7 mm/3.5 mm Elbow System is indicated for fixation of fractures of the distal humerus, olecranon and ulna in adults and adolescents in which the growth plates have fused.

Specifically, Distal humerus plates are indicated for intra-articular fractures, comminuted supracondylar fractures, osteotomies, malunions, and non-unions of the distal humerus.

Olecranon and Proximal ulna plates are indicated for fractures, osteotomies, malunions, and non-unions of the olecranon and proximal ulna.
