Designed to perform.
The Proximal Humerus System 3.5 focuses simplicity without compromising surgical options. The asymmetrical plate shape facilitates straightforward fixation of the greater tubercle. Additionally, the spiral blade option maximizes support of the calcar region. Diverging screw orientation and suture holes complete the offering for stable bone and soft tissue fixation.

Asymmetric Design
Asymmetrical design supports Greater Tuberculum fixation.
Blades for Calcar Support
Spiral blade to enhance medial support in calcar region.
Drill Guide Blocks
Drill guide block for easy screw insertion of diverging screws.
One System Size 3.5
One screw diameter allows for reduced instrumentation.
Surgical Options
When addressing a fracture pattern that requires additional medial support of the proximal humerus, the plate can be combined with the spiral blade 40° or the spiral blade 50°. These spiral blades provide additional calcar support to the plate-screw-construct in the medial bone tissue. In addition, the long plate (XL) types of the system enable the management of fracture patterns that extend to the humeral shaft.
3.5 TriLock Proximal Humeral Plates
Highlights
-
Optional spiral blades reduce the risk of secondary varus displacement of the humeral head by means of enhanced calcar support
-
The asymmetrical plate shape and posterior plate holes support the fixation of the greater tubercle
-
Due to its flat form, the spiral blade has a larger contact surface within the bone than a conventional screw
