There are three types of 3.5 mm Locking Distal Humerus Plates:

• Locking Dorsolateral Distal Humerus Plates 2.7/3.5 mm
• Dorsolateral Distal Humerus Plates Locking 2.7/3.5 mm With Support
• Locking Medial Distal Humerus Plates 2.7/3.5 mm
• Distal Humerus Plates can be either with or without support, depending on the situation.
• Plates available holes are 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11 and 13. The holes that are available on Extra Articular Distal Humerus Plates are numbered 4, 6, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, and 16.
• plates are available for use in both the left and right directions.
• The plate features both round and combi holes. The use of locking screws for fixation in the threaded section and cortex screws for compression in the dynamic compression unit section is made possible by the use of combi holes.
• In the compression portion of the shaft, the holes can accommodate locking screws measuring 3.5 millimetres in diameter, cortical screws measuring 3.5 millimetres in diameter, or cancellous screws measuring 4 millimetres in diameter. The plate head’s distal locking holes can accommodate either 2.7 mm or 3.5 mm locking screws.
• 3.5 mm Locking Distal humerus plates enable implant placement that can be tailored to each patient’s unique fracture pattern.
• The use of a limited-contact surface helps to preserve the periosteal blood supply while also reducing the amount of bone that comes into contact with the plate.
• The availability of plates in a variety of lengths eliminates the need to cut them to size.
• plate that has already been pre-contoured to fit the anatomical shape.
• Titanium and stainless steel versions are both readily available.
• locking plate improves the construct’s stability and lowers the risk of screw back-out, which would otherwise lead to a loss of reduction. In addition to this, it lessens the necessity of precise anatomic plate contouring and reduces the potential for stripped screw holes.
• It is possible to purchase a full Instruments Set for use with 3.5 mm Locking Distal Humerus Plates. There are a variety of general instruments that can be used with this plate, including a plate bending press, plate holding forceps, plate bending pliers, bone holding forceps, bone elevators, bone cutter, bone nibbler, depth gauge, sleeve, screw driver, trocar sleeve and so on.
