DISTAL HUMERAL LCP - TiCP, DORSOLATERAL, WITH LATERAL SUPPORT
Posterolateral distal humeral locking plate is designed for complex distal humerus fractures involving lateral column, combining dorsolateral plating principle with extended lateral support to enhance fixation strength for comminuted and osteoporotic fractures.
Key Features
Locking Compression Plate (LCP) technology providing angular stable fixation and rigid construct stability
Dorsolateral anatomical contouring matched to the posterior-lateral distal humerus anatomy
Integrated lateral support extension to buttress the lateral column and stabilize small or comminuted fragments
Titanium (TiCP) construction offering high strength, fatigue resistance, and excellent biocompatibility
Low-profile plate design to minimize soft tissue irritation and reduce risk of impingement
Multi-directional locking screw options for enhanced fragment capture in the distal humerus
Combination locking and compression holes allowing flexible fixation strategies depending on fracture pattern
Optimized screw trajectories to improve purchase in metaphyseal and subchondral bone
Indications
Complex distal humerus fractures involving the lateral column
Comminuted intra-articular distal humerus fractures
Bicondylar distal humerus fractures requiring enhanced lateral buttress support
Osteoporotic distal humerus fractures with poor bone quality
Lateral condyle fractures with metaphyseal comminution
Nonunion or malunion of distal humerus fractures involving the lateral column
Complex elbow injuries requiring reinforced dorsolateral stabilization
Clinical Advantages
Provides enhanced lateral column buttress support for unstable fracture patterns
Improves stability in comminuted and osteoporotic distal humerus fractures
Facilitates anatomical restoration of the distal humeral joint surface
Supports early postoperative elbow mobilization when rigid fixation is achieved
Reduces risk of fixation failure through improved load distribution and locking stability
Titanium material enhances biocompatibility and reduces soft tissue irritation
Options
Left and right dorsolateral plate versions with lateral support extension
Multiple plate lengths for varied fracture complexity
Locking and cortical screw compatibility
Variable angle screw options for fragment-specific fixation
Pre-contoured dorsolateral distal humerus geometry for improved surgical fit
