About Extra Articular Distal Humerus Plate
Extra Articular Distal Humerus Plate is made of a biocompatible material, such as titanium or stainless steel, that is compatible with the human body and can withstand the forces placed upon it during normal arm movements. During surgery, the Extra Articular Distal Humerus Plate is placed on the distal end of the humerus bone and fixed in place using screws or other fixation devices. The plate is contoured to match the shape of the bone, ensuring a precise fit and stability.
Advanced Surgical Fixation for Distal HumerusThe Extra Articular Distal Humerus Plate offers a specialized solution for managing fractures in the distal humerus area, particularly extra-articular types. Its anatomical fit and various length options make it adaptable to complex cases, supporting optimal bone healing in adult patients. The precontoured design helps reduce intraoperative adjustments, streamlining surgical procedures for orthopedic teams.
Engineered for Precision and SafetyCrafted from high-grade steel, the plates polished finish ensures biocompatibility and reduces the risk of tissue irritation or adverse reactions. Its combination of locking and compression holes aligns with modern fixation techniques, allowing surgeons to choose the best stabilization approach. With reliable corrosion resistance and compatibility with standard 3.5 mm screws, the implant ensures both durability and safety over extended healing periods.
Sterile and Convenient Hospital SupplyEach Extra Articular Distal Humerus Plate is sterilized using gamma ray or autoclave processes and packed individually to maintain sterility. Being latex-free, it minimizes allergic responses, supporting patient safety and hospital readiness. Distributed throughout India via multiple channels, the implant is readily supplied to orthopedic surgeons, hospitals, and clinics.
FAQs of Extra Articular Distal Humerus Plate:
Q: How is the Extra Articular Distal Humerus Plate utilized in surgical procedures?
A: This plate is used for internal fixation of extra-articular distal humerus fractures in adults. It is anatomically precontoured for distal humerus anatomy, secured using standard 3.5 mm orthopedic screws through locking and compression holes, and provides stable support to facilitate bone healing.
Q: What are the benefits of the combined locking and compression holes in this plate?
A: The combination of locking and compression holes allows surgeons to apply both rigid fixation (locking) and dynamic compression, enhancing stability and versatility in fracture management. This aids in optimal healing and reduces the risk of implant failure.
Q: When should a surgeon consider using this plate?
A: Surgeons should use this plate when treating adult patients with extra-articular distal humerus fractures requiring open reduction and internal fixation. It is recommended for situations demanding anatomical congruity and stable fixation for proper bone healing.
Q: Where can the Extra Articular Distal Humerus Plate be sourced in India?
A: This plate is available through authorized distributors, manufacturers, suppliers, and traders across various regions in India. Hospitals and orthopedic clinics can source it directly for surgical use.
Q: What is the sterilization process for this implant?
A: The plate is sterilized either by gamma ray irradiation or autoclave to ensure it is free from microorganisms. Each unit is individually packed to maintain sterility until surgical application.
Q: Can this plate be used with any type of orthopedic screws?
A: It is specially designed to be compatible with standard 3.5 mm locking and cortical orthopedic screws, which must be used for optimal fit and fixation integrity.
Q: What makes the polished finish advantageous for patients?
A: The polished surface enhances the biocompatibility of the implant, reducing tissue irritation and the risk of adverse reactions while also facilitating easier insertion during surgery.
