Product Explanation
The Locking Extra-Articular Distal Humerus Plate, 3.5 mm is an orthopedic fixation plate intended to form part of a compatible internal fixation construct in the distal humerus region.
A simplified fixation concept can be represented as:
Distal Humerus → Extra-Articular Locking Plate → Compatible Fixation Screws → Internal Fixation Construct
The product is specifically identified as an:
Extra-Articular Distal Humerus Plate
according to the supplied product designation.
The plate is selected and positioned according to the anatomical side, distal humerus anatomy, fracture configuration, required fixation construct, plate dimensions, surgical plan, approved surgical technique, and Instructions for Use.
According to the supplied product data, the plate is available in:
Left / Right
configurations.
The shaft is available with:
4 / 6 / 8 / 10 / 12 / 14 Holes
providing multiple plate configurations within the same product family.
Product Components and Design
- Extra-Articular Distal Humerus Plate Body
The implant consists of an elongated metallic fixation plate with a contoured distal section.
The plate transitions from a relatively straight longitudinal shaft into an angled or curved distal region.
The exact anatomical contour, bend angle, plate width, thickness, dimensions, and plate-to-bone relationship should be confirmed from the manufacturer’s technical drawings.
- Extra-Articular Configuration
The product is specifically designated:
Extra-Articular
within the supplied product name.
This distinguishes the plate from other distal humerus fixation configurations within the product family.
The exact anatomical and biomechanical characteristics associated with the manufacturer’s Extra-Articular design should be confirmed from the official surgical technique and product documentation.
- Distal Fixation Section
The distal portion of the plate visibly contains multiple fixation openings.
However, the supplied product table states:
Head Holes: –
Therefore, no numerical head-hole count is specified.
The exact number, classification, compatible screw type, locking interface, and trajectory of the distal openings should be confirmed from the manufacturer’s technical documentation.
- Shaft Section
The plate family is available with:
4 Shaft Holes
6 Shaft Holes
8 Shaft Holes
10 Shaft Holes
12 Shaft Holes
14 Shaft Holes
This provides six listed shaft configurations.
The exact physical plate length corresponding to each shaft-hole configuration is not provided in the supplied image.
- Multiple Fixation Opening Geometries
The supplied product image visually shows multiple opening geometries distributed along the plate.
These include:
- Circular openings.
- Elongated openings.
- Multiple openings within the distal section.
- Longitudinal shaft fixation openings.
The exact technical function of each opening—such as locking fixation, conventional fixation, compression, positioning, or adjustment—is not specified in the supplied data and should be confirmed from the approved surgical technique.
- Contoured Distal Geometry
The plate incorporates a visibly curved or angled distal region.
This contour differentiates the distal portion from the more longitudinal shaft section.
The exact bend angle, offset, anatomical relationship, and engineering dimensions are not provided in the supplied image and should not be inferred solely from the visual representation.
- Left and Right Configurations
According to the supplied product data, the plate is available in:
Left / Right
versions.
This supports side-specific implant selection according to the anatomical side being treated.
The exact contour differences between Left and Right plates should be confirmed from the manufacturer’s engineering drawings.
- Material Options
According to the supplied product information, the plate is available in:
SS316L
and
Titanium
The exact Titanium grade or alloy is not specified in the supplied image and should be confirmed from the manufacturer’s material documentation.
Intended Use
The Locking Extra-Articular Distal Humerus Plate, 3.5 mm is designed for use as part of a compatible orthopedic fixation system involving the distal humerus, according to the approved indications, surgical technique, and Instructions for Use.
The product designation identifies it as an Extra-Articular Distal Humerus Plate.
Potential applications may involve internal fixation of the distal humerus where this plate configuration is included within the manufacturer’s approved indications.
The exact fracture types, classifications, anatomical indications, surgical approach, fixation strategy, contraindications, and patient-selection criteria should be confirmed from the official product documentation.
Plate selection may depend on factors including:
- Anatomical side.
- Distal humerus anatomy.
- Fracture location and configuration.
- Extra-articular fracture characteristics where applicable to the approved indications.
- Required fixation construct.
- Required plate length.
- Required shaft-hole configuration.
- Bone dimensions.
- Bone quality.
- Compatible screw selection.
- Screw trajectory requirements.
- Compatible instrumentation.
- Surgical approach.
- Preoperative planning.
- Intraoperative assessment.
The implant should be selected and implanted by a qualified orthopedic surgeon in accordance with the approved surgical technique and Instructions for Use.
Key Benefits
Extra-Articular Plate Configuration
The product is specifically identified as a:
Locking Extra-Articular Distal Humerus Plate
providing a distinct configuration within a compatible distal humerus fixation system.
The exact clinical and biomechanical role of the Extra-Articular configuration should be confirmed from the manufacturer’s documentation.
Left and Right Anatomical Options
The plate is available in:
Left / Right
configurations, supporting side-specific implant selection.
Six Shaft-Hole Configurations
The product family includes:
4 / 6 / 8 / 10 / 12 / 14 Shaft Holes
providing six different plate configurations.
This supports selection among different plate variants according to the required fixation construct and surgical planning.
3.5 mm Fixation System
The product is identified as:
Locking Extra-Articular Distal Humerus Plate, 3.5 mm
indicating its association with a compatible 3.5 mm orthopedic fixation system.
The exact compatible screw type and whether every visible opening accepts the same screw diameter should be confirmed from the official system documentation.
Two Material Options
According to the supplied product data, the plate is available in:
SS316L
and
Titanium
Multiple Plate-Length Configurations
The available shaft-hole options:
4 → 6 → 8 → 10 → 12 → 14
indicate multiple plate variants within the product family.
The corresponding physical plate lengths are not supplied and should be confirmed from the manufacturer’s dimensional table.
Multiple Product Variants
Based strictly on the supplied product information, the family includes:
- 2 alignment options: Left / Right
- No numerical head-hole configuration specified
- 6 shaft-hole options: 4 / 6 / 8 / 10 / 12 / 14
- 2 material options: SS316L / Titanium
If each shaft-hole option is available in both alignments and both materials, this could represent up to 24 basic alignment × shaft × material combinations.
However, the supplied image does not provide the complete commercial configuration matrix. The exact number of available variants should therefore be confirmed from the official Cat. No. table.
