About Proximal Humerus Periarticualar Posterior Plate
A Proximal Humerus Periarticular Posterior Plate is a type of medical implant used in orthopedic surgery to treat fractures and other injuries involving the proximal (upper) end of the humerus bone in the arm, specifically fractures occurring near the shoulder joint. The Proximal Humerus Periarticular Posterior Plate is specifically designed for fractures occurring in the posterior (back) aspect of the proximal humerus. This type of plate is shaped and contoured to fit the anatomical surface of the humerus bone, particularly in the posterior region.
Anatomical Fit and FlexibilityCarefully pre-contoured, the Proximal Humerus Periarticular Posterior Plate conforms to the natural shape of the proximal humerus, ensuring optimal anatomical fit. Multi-directional screw orientation provides flexible fixation options tailored to patient needs, while availability in left, right, or universal models accommodates diverse surgical requirements.
Advanced Material and FinishCrafted from high-grade stainless steel or titanium, this implant is durable and corrosion-resistant. Surface finish options-polished, smooth, or matte-are designed to minimize tissue adhesion and support easy insertion. The low-profile plate helps reduce soft-tissue irritation, promoting comfort during the recovery process.
Reliable Performance and SterilityEach orthopedic plate is supplied sterile, individually packed for single use, and maintains a shelf life of up to five years when stored properly. Sterilized via gamma radiation or autoclave, these plates guarantee hygiene and readiness for immediate hospital application.
FAQ's of Proximal Humerus Periarticualar Posterior Plate:
Q: How is the Proximal Humerus Periarticular Posterior Plate used during surgery?
A: This plate is surgically attached to the posterior aspect of the proximal humerus using compatible locking or cortical screws. Its anatomical contouring and multi-directional screw options allow precise reduction and fixation of fractures, supporting optimal healing.
Q: What are the benefits of the low-profile and rounded edge design?
A: The low-profile plate with rounded edges minimizes soft-tissue irritation and reduces the risk of postoperative discomfort, allowing for smoother recovery and less interference with the surrounding tissues.
Q: When should this implant be considered for use?
A: This plate is recommended for fracture fixation of the proximal humerus, especially in cases where anatomical contouring and posterior support are needed. Selection depends on the size and location of the fracture as assessed by the orthopedic surgeon.
Q: Where are these plates typically available and used?
A: Proximal Humerus Periarticular Posterior Plates are supplied by distributors, manufacturers, and traders throughout India. They are commonly used in hospital orthopedic departments for surgical treatment of shoulder fractures.
Q: What materials and sizes are offered for these plates?
A: These plates are made from Grade A stainless steel or titanium, available in various sizes (lengths 80mm to 160mm, system 4.5mm), with 3 to 12 holes to match diverse anatomical and surgical requirements.
Q: How are the plates sterilized and how long can they be stored?
A: Each plate is sterilized by gamma radiation or autoclave, packed individually, and can be safely stored for up to five years under appropriate conditions to preserve sterility and functionality.
