  • Implant Design
    • The Skeletal Dynamics Humeral Plating Set consists of the following systems:
      • Distal Humerus Plating System
      • Midshaft Humerus Plating System
    • The Skeletal Dynamics Humeral Fixation Set contains bone plates for the repair of distal and midshaft humerus fractures. 
    • Included in the set are bone screws, K-Wires, and specialized instrumentation.
  • Indications
    • The Skeletal Dynamics Distal Humerus Plating System is indicated for the fixation of fractures, osteotomies, and nonunion of the distal humerus.
    • The Skeletal Dynamics Midshaft Humerus Plating System is indicated for fixation of fractures, peri-prosthetic fractures, nonunion, and malunions in the humeral shaft of adult patients including those with osteopenic bone.
  • Approaches
    • Use trajectory guide to place k-wire through the most distal holes of the medial and lateral plate.
    • Drill through both plates with the 3.7mm cannulated drill.
    • Overdrill with the 4.0mm stop drill.
    • Use the insertion tool and T-10 driver (not pictured) to insert the female component through the plate.
    • Introduce male component using T-10 driver.
    • Thread the male component into the female and continue advancing until the desired compression is achieved.
  • Technical specifications
    • Lateral Capitellar: 70mm, 100mm, 130mm, 160mm
    • Lateral Direct: 85mm, 115mm
    • Lateral Helical: 85mm, 115mm, 145mm, 175mm
    • Medial Direct: 75mm, 105mm, 135mm, 165mm
  • Screws
    • Metaphyseal and Diaphyseal Specific Screw Options
