Scapula Lateral Locking Plate | Anatomic Titanium Implant for Lateral Border Fracture Fixation

Premium Scapula Lateral Locking Plate for Advanced Shoulder Reconstruction

At OrthoPro, we are dedicated to supplying high-precision orthopedic solutions to medical distributors and hospitals worldwide. Our Scapula Lateral Locking Plate is a cornerstone of our upper limb trauma portfolio, meticulously designed to address the unique anatomical challenges of the scapula. Fractures of the scapula, particularly those involving the lateral border (the “pillar” of the scapula), require robust fixation to restore shoulder mechanics and ensure proper rotator cuff function.

Traditional plating methods often struggle with the complex 3D geometry of the scapula. The OrthoPro Scapula Lateral Locking Plate solves this by offering an anatomically pre-contoured solution that matches the lateral margin’s curvature. This design minimizes the need for intraoperative plate bending, reduces surgical time, and ensures a low-profile fit that reduces palpability and irritation of the overlying muscle and skin.

The Importance of the Lateral Pillar

Restoring the lateral border is critical in scapular surgery. It serves as the primary strut for the glenoid and the attachment site for key stabilizer muscles. Our Scapula Lateral Locking Plate is engineered to bridge comminuted fractures in this region, providing a stable platform for early rehabilitation. By securing the lateral column, surgeons can effectively neutralize forces acting on the glenoid fossa, preventing malunion and long-term dysfunction.

Key Features and Design Benefits

Our fixation system incorporates advanced locking screw technology to ensure rigid stability, even in osteopenic bone. Key features include:

• Anatomical Contour: The plate is specifically shaped to follow the twist and curve of the lateral scapular border, allowing for immediate application with minimal modification.
• Versatile Hole Configuration: The shaft features combination holes (Combi-holes) that accept both locking screws for angular stability and cortical screws for dynamic compression. This flexibility allows the surgeon to compress fracture lines or bridge comminuted zones as required.
• Low-Profile Architecture: With tapered edges and a reduced thickness, the plate preserves the blood supply to the periosteum and minimizes soft tissue impingement.
• Distal & Proximal Fixation: The plate design includes optimized screw clusters at the glenoid neck and the inferior angle to maximize screw purchase in the densest bone available.
• Material Excellence: Available in high-grade Titanium Alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) or Medical Stainless Steel, ensuring biocompatibility and superior fatigue strength.

• Fractures of the glenoid neck (extra-articular).
• Comminuted scapula fractures requiring open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF).
• Non-unions and malunions of the scapular lateral margin.
• Floating shoulder injuries (in combination with clavicle fixation).
