Proximal Radius Locking Plate System – Titanium Radial Head Fracture Fixation | Orthopedic Trauma Implants

Advanced Proximal Radius Locking Plate for Elbow Trauma

Welcome to OrthoPro, your trusted partner in advanced orthopedic solutions. Our Proximal Radius Locking Plate system is a state-of-the-art internal fixation solution designed specifically to address the challenges of fractures in the proximal radius and radial head. As a leading supplier of orthopedic trauma implants, OrthoPro is committed to providing surgeons and medical institutions with high-quality, bio-compatible implants that facilitate rapid patient recovery and stable surgical outcomes.

Fractures of the radial head and neck are common but can be surgically demanding due to the complex anatomy of the elbow joint and the limited soft tissue coverage. The OrthoPro Proximal Radius Locking Plate is engineered with a pre-contoured anatomical shape that respects the native bony anatomy, significantly reducing the need for intraoperative plate bending and minimizing surgical time.

Key Features and Benefits

Our fixation system stands out in the market due to its precision engineering and surgeon-focused design. Key advantages include:

• Anatomic Contouring: The plate is pre-shaped to fit the lateral aspect of the proximal radius. This “rim plate” design allows for optimal subchondral support of the articular surface without impinging on the rotation of the forearm.
• Low-Profile Design: To minimize soft tissue irritation and hardware prominence—a common issue in the elbow region—our proximal radius locking plate features a sleek, low-profile architecture with rounded edges.
• Locking Technology: The system utilizes stable locking screw technology. The combi-holes in the shaft allow for compression (using cortical screws) or angular stability (using locking screws), making it ideal for treating comminuted fractures or osteoporotic bone where screw purchase is difficult.
• Multiple Screw Options: The head of the plate typically accepts 2.4mm locking screws for secure fixation of the radial head fragments, while the shaft accepts 2.7mm locking or cortical screws, providing versatile fixation strategies.
• K-Wire Holes: Integrated K-wire holes facilitate temporary fixation and plate positioning before definitive screw insertion.

Indications for Use

The OrthoPro Proximal Radius Locking Plate is indicated for a variety of trauma patterns, including:

• Extra-articular and intra-articular fractures of the proximal radius.
• Comminuted radial head fractures (Mason Type II and III).
• Fractures of the radial neck.
• Non-unions and malunions of the proximal radius.

Why Choose OrthoPro for Trauma Implants?

At OrthoPro, we understand that supply chain reliability is just as critical as product quality. We serve B2B clients, including hospitals, surgical centers, and distributors, ensuring that high-grade orthopedic trauma implants are delivered efficiently.

Our manufacturing process adheres to strict quality control measures. The Titanium alloy used in our Proximal Radius Locking Plate offers excellent biocompatibility, high strength, and MRI compatibility, which is crucial for post-operative imaging. By choosing OrthoPro, you are choosing a partner dedicated to orthopedic excellence.

Surgical Technique Overview

While specific surgical techniques depend on the surgeon’s preference and the fracture pattern, the plate is generally applied via a lateral approach (Kocher or Kaplan). The ability to place multiple locking screws in the radial head in a diverging pattern ensures a “raft” of support for the articular surface, preventing subsidence. The locking mechanism creates a fixed-angle construct, essential for early mobilization of the elbow, which is critical to preventing stiffness.
