Glenoid Cavity Locking Plate | Titanium Scapula Fracture Fixation Implant & Instrument

Advanced Glenoid Cavity Locking Plate for Complex Shoulder Reconstruction

At OrthoPro, we represent the pinnacle of orthopedic manufacturing excellence, serving a global network of medical distributors and hospitals. Our Glenoid Cavity Locking Plate is a critical component of our upper limb trauma portfolio, meticulously engineered to address the challenging anatomy of the scapula. Fractures of the glenoid cavity, particularly those involving the articular surface (Ideberg classification), require stable fixation to prevent post-traumatic arthritis and restore shoulder function. Our system is designed to provide that stability with precision and reliability.

The shoulder girdle is a complex anatomical region, and fractures of the glenoid often involve comminution and displacement that are difficult to manage with conventional plating. The OrthoPro Glenoid Cavity Locking Plate utilizes an anatomical low-profile design that contours specifically to the posterior or superior aspect of the glenoid neck and rim. This reduces the need for intraoperative plate bending, shortening surgical time and minimizing the risk of metal fatigue.

Key Design Features and Clinical Benefits

Our fixation system incorporates state-of-the-art locking technology to ensure rigid fixation even in osteopenic bone. Key features include:

• Anatomical Pre-Contouring: The plate is shaped to fit the unique curvature of the glenoid fossa and scapular neck. This design serves as a buttress to the articular fragments, resisting shear forces and maintaining joint congruity.
• Multi-Planar Screw Fixation: The distal end of the plate features a cluster of locking holes that allow for multiple screws to be placed into the glenoid block. This “rafting” technique maximizes pull-out strength and supports the subchondral bone.
• Low-Profile Architecture: With a thickness optimized to balance strength and profile, the plate minimizes soft tissue stripping and impingement, which is crucial in the scapular region where muscle cover can be significant.
• Combi-Hole Technology: The shaft holes are designed to accept both locking screws for angular stability and cortical screws for dynamic compression, giving surgeons the flexibility to compress fracture gaps or bridge comminuted zones.

Surgical Indications

The OrthoPro Glenoid Cavity Locking Plate is indicated for various trauma patterns within the shoulder girdle:

• Intra-articular fractures of the glenoid fossa (Ideberg Types).
• Fractures of the scapular neck with glenoid involvement.
• Posterior glenoid rim fractures requiring buttress fixation.
• Non-unions and malunions of the glenoid region.
• Complex scapula fractures typically resulting from high-energy trauma.

Technical Specifications and Parameters

Manufactured to meet rigorous international quality standards (ISO/CE compliant processes), the OrthoPro system ensures compatibility and performance. Below are the technical parameters based on standard configurations:

Material Science and Quality Assurance

We understand that material quality is paramount in orthopedic implants. Our titanium plates are crafted from Ti-6Al-4V ELI, known for its excellent biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, and modulus of elasticity closer to that of bone compared to steel. This reduces stress shielding and promotes better healing. Every plate undergoes strict quality control inspections, including dimensional verification and surface analysis, ensuring that you receive a product that surgeons can trust.
