Titanium Olecranon Locking Plate – Proximal Ulna Fixation System for Elbow Fracture Surgery

Advanced Solution for Elbow Trauma: The Olecranon Locking Plate

At OrthoPro, we specialize in delivering high-performance orthopedic solutions to the global medical community. Our Olecranon Locking Plate is a flagship product within our upper extremity trauma line, designed to address the specific challenges of proximal ulna fractures. With a focus on anatomical precision and biomechanical stability, this Proximal Ulna Fixation System facilitates early mobilization and promotes rapid bone healing, making it a preferred choice for trauma centers and hospitals worldwide.

Anatomical Design for Optimal Fit

The elbow region presents a unique challenge due to the thin soft tissue envelope and the complex shape of the proximal ulna. Our Olecranon Locking Plate addresses these issues with a pre-contoured, low-profile design.

• Left and Right Specific: The plates are anatomically shaped to fit the distinct curvature of the left and right proximal ulna, reducing the need for intra-operative bending and shortening surgical time.
• Low-Profile Architecture: To minimize palpable hardware and reduce skin irritation over the olecranon process, the plate features a sleek, polished surface and tapered edges.
• Proximal Contouring: The proximal end of the plate is designed to wrap around the olecranon tip, providing a secure landing zone for screws that capture the most proximal bone fragments.

Superior Biomechanical Stability

Fractures of the olecranon are often subjected to significant tensile forces from the triceps muscle. The Olecranon Locking Plate is engineered to neutralize these forces effectively.

• Locking Technology: The system utilizes locking screws that thread into the plate, creating a fixed-angle construct. This is particularly crucial in osteoporotic bone where traditional screw purchase may be compromised.
• Multi-Planar Fixation: The proximal screw holes are oriented in multiple planes to maximize screw purchase in the olecranon fragment, ensuring rigid fixation even in comminuted fractures.
• Compression Capability: The combination holes in the plate shaft allow for dynamic compression of the fracture site or neutral locking, giving surgeons flexibility based on the fracture pattern.

Clinical Indications

The OrthoPro Olecranon Locking Plate is indicated for a wide variety of fracture patterns and reconstructive procedures:

• Complex extra-articular and intra-articular fractures of the proximal ulna.
• Comminuted olecranon fractures where tension band wiring is insufficient.
• Fractures of the proximal ulna associated with dislocation of the radial head (Monteggia fractures).
• Osteotomies of the olecranon.
• Non-unions and mal-unions of the proximal ulna.

Technical Specifications and Parameters

Our manufacturing process adheres to strict quality standards to ensure reliability and safety. The Olecranon Locking Plate system includes the following specifications:

• Material: Available in Medical Grade Titanium Alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) for superior biocompatibility and strength, or Surgical Grade Stainless Steel upon request.
• Screw Compatibility:
  • Proximal Head: Accepts 3.5mm Locking Screws.
  • Shaft: Accepts 3.5mm Locking Screws and 3.5mm Cortical Screws (Combo holes).
• Plate Lengths: A comprehensive range of lengths (e.g., 2 holes to 12 holes) to accommodate different fracture extensions down the ulnar shaft.
• Thickness: Optimized thickness to balance structural strength with a low profile.
