Description
- Proximal suture holes or temporary fixation with Kirschner wires to
help maintain fracture reduction. - The plates are made of titanium alloy (Ti6Al4C ELI).
- Rounded profile body.
- Proximal holes (Zone A – E) for 3.5mm locking screws allow for an
angularly stable configuration to increase grip in osteoporotic bone and
multifragmentary fractures. - Combination holes for the use of normal or locking screws
PROH LOCK
- 3- and 5-hole plates
- Optimum screw placement.
- Proximal suture holes to help maintain fracture reduction.

of the proximal humerus, also in osteopenic bone - Nonunion of the proximal humerus
- Osteotomies of the proximal humerus
