SuturePlate™ Proximal Humeral Fracture Repair

The SuturePlate™ humeral plate is an anatomically designed, polyaxial locking plate and screw system designed for the treatment of proximal humeral fractures. Low-profile plates with polyaxial bushings provide freedom to direct the locking screws within the anatomical template based on the fracture pattern and bone quality for better fixation. Multiple diagonally angled suture eyelets along the margin of the plate allow FiberWire® suture to be passed once the plate is fixed to bone. FiberWire Suture Kits, containing color-coded #2 and #5 FiberWire sutures with needles on each end, are available to facilitate suturing soft tissue to the plate once it is in place.
