Coronoid rupture fractures are
observed at a rate of 5% to 10%; Rare fractures usually associated with elbow dislocations or fracture-dislocations. These
fractures typically result from the shear force the coronoid is exposed on the
distal humerus as the elbow protrudes into the posterior.
Coronoid Anatomic Locking Plate is
designed to stabilize coronoid fractures and deformities. It is indicated for
fractures on the anteromedial side of the coronoid. It acts as a support for
the coronoid and counteracts the tendency of the elbow to subluxation (partial
distance of the joint surfaces).
The plate can be used with
Ø2.7mm, Ø3.5mm and Ø4.0mm locking cortical or cancellous screws according to
the surgeon's preference.
It is anatomically shaped. It is
designed to minimize soft tissue irritation.
