Section of humerus plates for operation on distal humerus

Y - Distal Humerus Plate 4.5 mm Y - Distale Humerusplatte 4.5 mm Plaque pour humerus distal en Y 4.5 mm Indication : Used to treat comminuted distal humerus intra-articular or extra-articular fractures. Depending on the fracture configuration like T or Y type, the plates are shaped to be placed according to the anatomy of proximal humerus. The pre-formed shape of the plate requires that a separate plate to be used for right and left humerus. It should be bend preoperatively to accurately match the counters of the segment of the bone to be fixed. And oval hole allows for temporary fixation of the plate prior to final adjustment and fixation. Plate details : Plate profile with radius 2.3 mm x 14.0mm Plate thickness : 2.3 mm Plate width : 14.0 mm Hole spacing : 17.0 mm Screws to be used : Head of plate accepts diam. 6.5 mm cancellous screws. Plate shaft accepts diam. 4.5 mm cortical screws. Material : Certified Stainless Steel according to ASTM F.138 - ISO 5832/1.
