Distal Humeral Lateral Locking Plate

Kangli Orthopaedics offers this pure titanium lateral locking plate for orthopedic procedures involving the distal humerus. Its bowed longitudinal profile, expanded distal region, mixed circular and elongated openings, and left- and right-sided configurations create a plate layout that follows the lateral distal humerus into the shaft.

Lateral Plate Geometry for the Distal Humerus

The plate follows a bowed path along its length and transitions into a narrowed, curved distal end. This profile corresponds to the change in direction between the lateral distal humerus and the shaft, providing a contoured plate option for procedures that do not follow a straight lateral profile.

Distal and Shaft Screw Placement

Circular openings are positioned in the wider distal region, while elongated openings extend along the shaft portion. This combination accommodates defined placement in the distal area and adjustable longitudinal positioning along the shaft within one plate design.

Longitudinal Positioning with Elongated Slots

The oblong openings allow longitudinal plate adjustment before final screw tightening. This slot configuration provides an adjustment path along the shaft while retaining circular openings for designated screw positions in the distal region.

Left- and Right-Sided Options

Side-specific left and right configurations use corresponding contours for the lateral humerus. Selecting the appropriate version aligns the curved distal end and shaft direction with the side being addressed.

Orthopedic Applications at the Distal Humerus

• Lateral distal humerus fracture fixation
• Distal humeral fragment fixation
• Distal humerus shaft fixation
• Plate fixation spanning the distal humerus

For medial-sided fixation at the same anatomy, this lateral plate differs from the Distal Humeral Medial Locking Plate in its fixation orientation.
