These specifications ensure that the Proximal Humeral Locking Compression Plate II provides effective and reliable fixation for proximal humeral fractures, catering to a variety of clinical scenarios and patient anatomies.
A Distal Radius Locking Compression Plate (LCP) is used for the surgical treatment of various types of distal radius fractures. Here are the primary indications for using a distal radius LCP:
Description: Fractures where the bone fragments are significantly out of alignment.
Rationale: The LCP helps restore proper anatomical positioning and maintains stability.
Description: Fractures where the distal radius is broken into multiple pieces.
Rationale: The plate provides the necessary stability to facilitate proper healing of multiple fragments.
Description: Fractures that extend into the wrist joint.
Rationale: An LCP can help maintain joint congruity and prevent post-traumatic arthritis by ensuring stable fixation and alignment of the joint surface.
Description: Fractures occurring in patients with poor bone quality due to osteoporosis.
Rationale: The locking mechanism of the plate provides enhanced stability in osteoporotic bone, where conventional screws may not achieve adequate purchase.
Description: Fractures that are unstable and at high risk of secondary displacement during healing.
Rationale: The robust fixation provided by an LCP prevents secondary displacement and promotes stable healing.
Description: Fractures where the bone fragments are displaced towards the palm side of the hand.
Rationale: A volar LCP is specifically designed to manage fractures with volar displacement, providing stable fixation from the volar side.
Description: Fractures that have failed to heal properly (nonunion) or have healed in a misaligned position (malunion).
Rationale: An LCP can be used to re-stabilize and correct the alignment, promoting proper healing.
Description: Fractures where the bone breaks through the skin.
Rationale: After thorough debridement and cleaning, an LCP can be used for stabilization of open fractures.
Description: Fractures with multiple fracture lines or those that are difficult to manage with non-surgical methods.
Rationale: The LCP provides the necessary stability and alignment for complex fractures, facilitating proper healing.
Description: Certain distal radius fractures in children and adolescents.
Rationale: In some cases, where skeletal maturity is near, an LCP may be used to manage distal radius fractures in younger patients.
Description: Patients with multiple injuries requiring quick and stable fixation.
Rationale: The stable fixation provided by an LCP facilitates overall patient management and recovery in polytrauma cases.
Description: Fractures accompanied by significant soft tissue damage.
Rationale: Stable fixation allows for better management and healing of the associated soft tissue injuries.
Enhanced Stability: The locking mechanism provides a fixed-angle construct, enhancing stability, especially in poor quality bone.
Early Mobilization: Stable fixation allows for earlier movement of the wrist, reducing stiffness and improving functional outcomes.
Anatomical Fit: Pre-contoured plates match the anatomy of the distal radius, minimizing the need for intraoperative bending and manipulation.
Reduced Complications: The use of an LCP can reduce the risk of secondary displacement and malunion, leading to better long-term outcomes.
The use of a distal radius LCP is determined by the orthopedic surgeon based on the specific characteristics of the fracture, the patient's overall health, and the desired outcomes. This advanced fixation method is preferred in many complex and unstable fracture scenarios to ensure proper healing and restore function.

A Distal Radius Locking Compression Plate is an orthopedic implant designed to stabilize fractures of the distal radius, the end of the radius bone near the wrist. It utilizes locking screw technology to provide stable fixation and promote proper healing.
Displaced fractures
Comminuted fractures (multiple fragments)
Intra-articular fractures (extending into the wrist joint)
Osteoporotic fractures
Unstable fractures
Fractures with volar displacement
Nonunion or malunion fractures
Open fractures
Complex fractures
Certain pediatric and adolescent fractures
LCPs use locking screws that thread into the plate, creating a fixed-angle construct. This provides greater stability compared to non-locking plates, particularly in poor-quality bone or complex fractures. The locking mechanism helps maintain the alignment and stability of the fracture.
Enhanced stability and fixation
Maintains anatomical alignment
Reduces the risk of secondary displacement
Suitable for osteoporotic bone
Allows for early mobilization and rehabilitation
Reduces the need for intraoperative contouring
Yes, LCPs come in various designs, lengths, and sizes to accommodate different fracture patterns and patient anatomies. Some plates are pre-contoured to match the natural shape of the distal radius and can be further bent during surgery if needed.
LCPs are typically made from stainless steel or titanium, offering a balance of strength, durability, and biocompatibility.
Recovery time varies based on fracture severity, the patient's overall health, and adherence to postoperative care. Generally, it can take several weeks to months for complete healing, with physical therapy often recommended to restore strength and mobility.
Infection
Implant irritation or prominence
Tendon irritation or rupture
Nonunion or delayed union of the fracture
Neurovascular injury
Need for revision surgery
In some cases, the plate may be removed after the bone has fully healed, especially if it causes discomfort or restricts movement. This decision is typically made by the surgeon based on the patient's recovery and symptoms.
Candidates for LCP surgery include patients with displaced, comminuted, intra-articular, or osteoporotic distal radius fractures. The decision is made by an orthopedic surgeon based on the specific fracture characteristics and patient factors.
The surgery is usually performed under general or regional anesthesia. The surgeon makes an incision on the appropriate side of the wrist, realigns the fracture fragments, and secures them with the LCP and locking screws. Post-surgery, the wrist is typically immobilized in a splint or cast for a period of time before starting rehabilitation.
Postoperative care includes wound care, pain management, and gradual mobilization of the wrist. Physical therapy is often recommended to restore range of motion, strength, and function. Regular follow-up visits with the surgeon are necessary to monitor healing.
During recovery, you may experience some pain and swelling, which can be managed with medication and rest. Gradual exercises and physical therapy will help regain wrist strength and flexibility. Regular check-ups with your surgeon will ensure the fracture is healing correctly.
Initially, you may need to avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activities to allow the fracture to heal properly. Your surgeon will provide specific guidelines on activity restrictions and when you can resume normal activities.
Signs of complications include increased pain, swelling, redness, fever, or drainage from the surgical site. If you experience any of these symptoms, contact your surgeon immediately.
