Humeral Shaft Locking Plate

Kangli Orthopaedics manufactures this pure titanium locking plate for fixation along the humeral shaft. Its elongated, narrow profile features chamfered edges, tapered angled ends, paired-lobed openings through the central section, and circular holes near both terminals. The longitudinal layout provides a clear plate orientation for shaft fixation, while the shaped perimeter distinguishes the proximal and distal ends.

Longitudinal Plate Design for Humeral Shaft Fixation

The plate follows a predominantly rectangular axis with matching angled terminal points. Together, these features create a regular octagonal outline along the long perimeter and make the central fixation line easy to identify during positioning. The available holes remain arranged along the length of the plate for longitudinal placement on the humerus.

Paired-Lobed Locking Openings

The larger central openings consist of two rounded lobes connected by a narrower central section. Separate left and right groups are distributed along the plate, with solid bridges between adjacent apertures. This configuration provides repeated locations for locking hardware while retaining a continuous plate body between the openings.

Chamfered Edges and Tapered Ends

Chamfered longitudinal edges define the transition between the broad plate face and its sidewalls. Angled transitions at each terminal end reduce the square appearance of the outline and lead into tapered points. The resulting perimeter provides a consistent visual orientation from one end of the implant to the other.

Humeral Shaft Plate Applications

• Positioning along the humeral shaft
• Longitudinal fixation using the central locking openings
• Hardware placement through the paired-lobed apertures
• Terminal fixation through the circular end holes

For fixation lines that follow the humeral shaft, this implant differs in geometry from the Humeral Metaphyseal Locking Plate, which is shaped for metaphyseal positioning.
