This surgical technique applies to 5.0ChLP locked plating system used for stabilization of distal humerus fractures. The plates are a part of the ChLP locked plating system developed by ChM.The presented range of implants is made of materials in accordance with ISO 5832 standards. Compliance with the requirements of quality management systems and the requirements of Directive 93/42/EEC concerning medical devices guarantee high quality of the offered implants.
The system includes:
• implants (plates and screws),
• instrument set used in the surgery,
• surgical technique.
Plate selection and shaping
The plates are available in different lengths, separately for right and left side.This allows for optimal selection of the implant to the fracture type.
Shaping of the plates in their epiphyseal part is not allowed.
IMPLANT DESCRIPTION
Distal humerus plates are a part of 5.0ChLP system.This system includes also compatible locking screws.To facilitate the identification, both titanium plate and screws are brown anodized.
Plate design:
• anatomical profile fits the bone structure,
• narrowed epiphyseal part,
• rounded upper edges.
Variable plate thickness:
• plate shape fits the anatomy of the humerus.
• reduced risk of irritation of soft tissues and tendons.
Aiming blocks:
• fast, collision-free insertion of screws in the pre-defined directions.
