The 3.5mm LCP Proximal Humerus Plate – Type 3 is an anatomically contoured locking plate engineered for precise fixation of proximal humerus fractures, particularly those involving multiple fragments or osteoporotic bone. This third-generation plate improves upon previous types with increased screw hole density, angled screw trajectories, and a broader metaphyseal flare—offering enhanced control over humeral head fragments.
The Type 3 variation is designed for complex fractures, such as 3-part or 4-part fractures, or where osteoporotic bone demands better screw anchorage. The head of the plate accommodates multiple multidirectional locking screws to secure even the smallest fragments and provides maximum purchase in the humeral head.
Constructed from high-grade surgical steel or titanium, the plate maintains biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, and low-profile performance for reduced soft tissue irritation.
