Designed to Perform

The Proximal Humerus 3.5 Plate System focuses on simplicity without compromising on surgical options. The asymmetrical plate shape and the spiral blade option allow to position the plate for straight forward greater tubercle fixation and maximum area support of the calcar region. Diverging screw orientation and suture holes complete the offering for stable bone and soft tissue fixation.

Asymmetric Design

Asymmetric design supports GT fixation

Blades for Calcar Support

Spiral blade to enhance medial support in calcar region.

Drill Guide Blocks

Drill guide block for easy screw insertion of diverging screws.

One Size 3.5

One screw diameter minimizing amount of instruments.

Surgical Options

When addressing a fracture pattern that requires additional medial support of the proximal humerus, the plate can be combined with the spiral blade 40° or the spiral blade 50°. These spiral blades provide additional calcar support to the plate-screw-construct in the medial bone tissue. In addition, the long plate (XL) types of the system enable the management of fracture patterns that extend to the humeral shaft.

3.5 TriLock Proximal Humeral Plates

  • Optional spiral blades reduce the risk of secondary varus displacement of the humeral head by means of enhanced calcar support

  • The asymmetrical plate shape and posterior plate holes support the fixation of the greater tubercle

  • Due to its flat form, the spiral blade has a larger contact surface within the bone than a conventional screw
