Patients can begin a passive range of motion within the first 7-10 days after surgery and start active motion therapy by the second week.
Average less than one hour versus 2-3 hours for conventional ORIF using a plate and screws, significantly reducing costs associated with OR time.
No dissection as fixation is based on well-established percutaneous placement of threaded half-pins held in place by an external fixator.
Key Features
Five pins at varied angles lock the humeral head in place against the high-tensile strength of the Ultem® plate and three pins down the shaft of the humerus.
Each spherical pin assembly allows thirty degrees from center of rotational freedom for the precision each individual procedure and body requires.
The radiolucent plate provides for real-time fluoroscopic viewing of reduction and pin positioning to achieve best results.
