Radial Head Locking Plate

Kangli Orthopaedics manufactures this pure-titanium plate for radial head and proximal radius fracture fixation. Its broad, fan-shaped head section contains a concentrated arrangement of smaller apertures, while the narrower shaft features larger openings in a longitudinal row. Side-specific configurations and the changing plate width define the transition from the radial head to the proximal radius shaft.

Fan-Shaped Plate Geometry for Radial Head Fractures

The proximal end expands into a rounded, fan-shaped section with apertures distributed across the head area. This arrangement provides multiple locking screw positions across the widened portion of the plate rather than restricting them to a single linear path.

Distinct Head-to-Shaft Aperture Layout

Smaller apertures are concentrated in the broad head section, and larger apertures continue along the shaft in an orderly row. The contrasting layouts distinguish the radial head portion from the shaft portion and create a visible progression toward the radius.

Rounded Shaft Bridges and Plate Contour

Along the shaft, repeated rounded expansions frame the openings, while shallow concave notches shape the plate edges. These bridges maintain the connection between the fan-shaped head and the rounded distal end of the shaft while defining the longitudinal aperture path.

Application Areas for Orthopedic Inventory

• radial head fracture fixation
• proximal radius fragment fixation
• plate positioning from the radial head toward the radial shaft
• locking screw placement through the fan-shaped head section
