Titanium alloy posts are used to affix the proximal end of the plate to the proximal end of the humerus. With the aid of fixtures, the posts have the ability to have cross elements inserted perpendicular to the axis of the cortical thread of the post. The head of the post is a threaded locking configuration that accepts an expansion cap screw. The posts are 5.25mm in diameter and are available in 5 lengths ranging from 30mm to 50mm. They are cannulated i.e a K-wire can pass through the post longitudinally.
A non-sterile assembly of implantable devices designed for the stabilization of fractured/surgically-cut bones of the limbs (long bones), their appendages (hands, feet), pelvis, craniomaxillofacial bones, and/or for limb-joint fusion. It typically consists of a set of bone fixation plates, screws, wires, and pins made of materials that cannot be chemically degraded or absorbed via natural body processes (e.g., implant grade metal, surgical steel, titanium alloy, or carbon fibre). It may also include instruments for the attachment of the implants such as screwdrivers or drills. This device is intended to be sterilized prior to use.
