3.5mm LCP Proximal Humerus Plate – Type 3 (Anatomical Locking Plate)

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.

✅ Key Features:

• 🧠 Type 3 Design Innovation: Broader head, increased screw hole density, and sharper anatomical fit for better humeral coverage

• 🔒 Multidirectional Locking Screw Angles: Provides stable fixation in fragmented or soft bone

• 🦴 Pre-Contoured Anatomical Curve: Reduces operative time and ensures proper alignment

• ⚙️ Combi-Hole Technology: Enables locking and non-locking screw combinations for dynamic fixation

• 💠 Low-Profile, Smooth Finish: Minimizes subacromial impingement and soft tissue disruption

• 🛡️ Available in Stainless Steel or Titanium for surgeon preference and patient safety

✅ Technical Specifications:

• Hole Configurations: Available in 5, 7, 9, 11, and 13 holes

• Screw Type: Accepts 3.5mm locking and cortical screws

• Screw Orientation: Divergent and convergent holes for fragment capture

• Material: Stainless Steel (316L) or Titanium (Ti-6Al-4V)

• Finish: Electropolished / anodized

✅ Applications:

• Proximal humeral fractures (including Neer 2-, 3-, and 4-part)

• Head-splitting fractures requiring multi-angle stabilization

• Osteoporotic bone fixation in elderly patients

• Revision surgeries following failed fixation

• Complex shoulder trauma cases
