System Features

The A.L.P.S. Proximal Humerus Plating System is designed to provide intraoperative flexibility and efficiency to the surgical team. The A.L.P.S. Proximal Humerus Plating System is designed to minimize the risk of some of the complications commonly associated with treating proximal humerus fractures.

Plate Options

Designed to allow for greater range of motion, the Low Plate sits 2 cm from the greater tuberosity. The High Plate sits 1 cm from the greater tuberosity and offers 2 additional screw holes proximally to achieve direct screw fixation of the greater tuberosity fragment.

Screw Options

Optimal fixation achieved with tapered, triple lead locking and low profile non-locking screw options.

F.A.S.T. Guide Inserts

Facilitate fixed angle, fast, accurate drilling and assist with plate identification with pre-loaded F.A.S.T. Guide inserts – Lime = Left, Rose = Right (shaft holes)

Benefits

Contourable Plates

  • Using the ‘feet’ of the benders, the plates can be contoured to conform to the patient’s unique anatomic needs. Pre-contoured anterior plate curvature is designed for insertion, to reduce the possibility that a deltoid release will be necessary. 

Implant Stability

  • Using the medial calcar screw provides additional stability in the inferior medial cortex. Pegs with blunt tips minimize screw penetration of the articular surface.

Product Brochure

Surgical Approach:

This system offers an extensive selection of anatomically contoured plates, which are available in a variety of lengths and in two styles to accommodate surgeon preference for either high or low application on the greater tuberosity. Long plates curve anteriorly around the deltoid insertion, and can be further contoured in situ for better anatomic fit.
