DISTAL HUMERAL LCP DORSOLATERAL
Lateral distal humeral locking plate is indicated for complex distal humerus fractures involving lateral column and posterior (dorsal) side, with pre-contoured anatomical design for angular stable fixation.
Key Features
Locking Compression Plate (LCP) system providing fixed-angle stability for strong fracture fixation
Dorsolateral anatomical contouring designed to match the posterior-lateral surface of the distal humerus
Titanium (TiCP) construction offering high strength, fatigue resistance, and biocompatibility
Low-profile plate design to reduce soft tissue irritation and minimize impingement at the elbow
Multi-directional locking screw options for improved capture of small articular fragments
Combination screw holes allowing both locking and compression fixation strategies
Optimized screw trajectories for enhanced purchase in distal humeral metaphyseal bone
Indications
Distal humerus fractures involving the lateral column
Intra-articular and extra-articular distal humeral fractures
Comminuted distal humerus fractures
Bicondylar distal humerus fractures (as part of dual-plating constructs)
Osteoporotic distal humeral fractures
Nonunion or malunion of distal humerus fractures
Complex elbow injuries requiring dorsolateral column stabilization
Clinical Advantages
Provides strong lateral column support in complex distal humerus fractures
Enhances stability in osteoporotic and comminuted bone conditions
Enables anatomical restoration of distal humeral articular surface and alignment
Supports early elbow mobilization when rigid fixation is achieved
Reduces risk of fixation failure through locking plate construct stability
Titanium material improves biocompatibility and reduces hardware-related irritation
Options
Left and right dorsolateral anatomical plate designs
Multiple plate lengths for different fracture patterns
Locking and cortical screw compatibility
Variable angle screw options for fragment-specific fixation
Pre-contoured dorsolateral distal humerus geometry for improved surgical fit
