The Olecranon Locking Plate is a precision-engineered orthopedic implant designed for the fixation of olecranon fractures, osteotomies, and complex intra-articular fractures of the proximal ulna. Featuring an anatomical contour, the plate is crafted to fit the posterior aspect of the olecranon, ensuring optimal fracture reduction, stable fixation, and preservation of elbow joint function.
Manufactured from high-quality medical-grade stainless steel, this plate combines structural strength with a 2.5mm thickness and a 11mm width, ensuring sufficient rigidity while maintaining a low-profile design to minimize soft tissue irritation and post-operative discomfort. Its polished, corrosion-resistant surface guarantees long-term durability and biocompatibility.

Application Overview:
The Olecranon Locking Plate is a vital implant for orthopedic surgeons dealing with complex fractures of the olecranon and proximal ulna. Its anatomically contoured profile ensures that the implant aligns perfectly with the bone, allowing for accurate fracture reduction and rigid fixation. The combination of locking screw holes and variable-length configurations gives surgeons the flexibility to address a wide range of fracture patterns, from simple transverse fractures to comminuted multi-fragmentary injuries.
The plate’s low-profile design minimizes soft tissue disruption, reducing post-operative complications such as skin irritation or impingement. Its compatibility with locking and cortical screws provides the necessary angular stability and compression needed for optimal bone healing, even in osteoporotic bone.
Why Choose This Implant:
-
Anatomically contoured for precise olecranon fit.
-
Enhanced stability with locking screw technology.
-
Low-profile design reduces post-operative discomfort.
-
Flexible sizing for different fracture types and patient anatomies.
-
Corrosion-resistant, biocompatible, and highly durable for long-term implantation.
