The ALPS® Distal Humerus Plate is a specialty fracture plate for fractures involving the distal humerus offering the following benefits:
Anatomically Preshaped – The plates closely match the shape of the left and right medial distal humerus. The need for contouring is reduced.
Screw Versatility – The plate holes accept KLS™ Locking Screws, which can be angulated with a KLS™ bead if needed.
Lag Screw – The most distal plate hole can be used with a cortical lag screw for additional compression of fracture fragments.
The ALPS Distal Humerus plate is part of the ALPS Product Range and are anchored by KYON Locking Screws KLS™. All plates use ALPS® Technology, which includes a unique design which minimizes the contact-area of the plate with the periosteum to preserve the vascular supply, reduce the risk of infection and accelerate healing.
Biological principles of ALPS® Technology:
Accelerated healing through minimal contact between plate and bone
Use of monocortical locking screws prevent unnecessary damage of healthy bone and preserve vascular supply
Superior biocompatibility and strength through Titanium
