DEVICE FOR THE OSTEOSYNTHESIS OF PROXIMAL HUMERUS FRACTURES.

摘要

A device for the treatment of proximal humerus fractures, comprising a body (12), or plate, being substantially spoon-shaped, i.e. comprising: a blade-like proximal portion (14) intended to match the humerus head (20) and provided with at least one seat (32) to insert a wire (23), a threaded nail, or a similar element to stabilise the fracture, and a plate-like and elongate distal portion (16), intended to match the humerus neck (19) and provided with at least one seat (15) to insert a screw (17) or a similar element to fix the body (12) to the humerus, characterised in that it comprises a central bulge (35), or block, interposed between the proximal portion (14) and the distal portion (16) and wherein a seat (36) is obtained to insert a screw (37) intended to stabilise the humerus head (20).
