Orthopedic Locking Implant Plates for Stable Fracture Fixation
Locking plates give surgeons a fixed-angle construct, which can be valuable in fractures near joints and in softer bone. Our orthopedic implant plates collection offers anatomical locking plates for the clavicle, humerus and metaphyseal regions, in a range of hole counts. It is made for surgeons, hospital purchasing teams and distributors who want clearly described implants at clear prices. Whether you are stocking a trauma theatre, supplying a hospital group or distributing to surgeons, you can compare each design and hole range in one place.
Types of Implant Plates We Offer
Clavicle plates. The Locking Clavicle S Plate follows the S-shaped curve of the clavicle, with options from 6 to 12 holes. The Locking Clavicle Hook Plate is designed for the distal clavicle, with options from 4 to 12 holes.
Proximal humerus plates. Choose from the Proximal Humerus Locking Plate Flat, the Narrow version and the Multiple Sizes plate with a cobra head. Hole counts range from 4 to 14 across the group.
Distal humerus plates. The Lateral Distal Humerus Locking Plate and the version with hook are offered for elbow fixation, in hole ranges up to 15 and 17.
Metaphyseal plates. The Cloverleaf Locking Plate is available from 3 to 14 holes for metaphyseal fixation.
Why Locking Plates Matter
In a locking plate, the screw heads lock into the plate, so the plate and screws work as one rigid unit instead of relying only on friction against the bone. This can help in osteoporotic or metaphyseal bone. Anatomical pre-contouring also reduces how much bending is needed in theatre, which saves time. A well-matched plate also helps keep the procedure efficient for the whole surgical team. Hole count, plate length and side matter, so review each listing carefully and use your clinical judgment when selecting an implant.
What to Confirm Before You Order
Implants need more checks than ordinary instruments. Before ordering, confirm:
-
Material and alloy grade: Check the material stated for the plate you want.
-
Sterility status: Confirm whether the plate is supplied sterile or non-sterile.
-
Regulatory documentation: Ask for the documents your facility or country requires.
-
Screw compatibility: Make sure the plates match the screw system you use.
-
Side and size: Confirm left or right configuration and the hole count you need.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the difference between a locking plate and a compression plate?
A compression plate holds bone by pressing the plate against it with screws, while a locking plate has screw heads that lock into the plate to form a fixed-angle construct. Locking plates can help in softer, osteoporotic or metaphyseal bone. Browse the full implant plates collection to see the available designs.
2. How do I choose the right plate and hole count?
Hole count and plate length depend on the fracture pattern and the anatomy, so choice rests with the operating surgeon. Each product page lists the available hole range, for example 4 to 14 holes on the Proximal Humerus Locking Plate Narrow.
3. What should I confirm before ordering implant plates?
Confirm the material, sterility status, regulatory documentation, compatible screw system and left or right configuration. If any detail is unclear, contact our team before you order.
4. Which screws and instruments go with these plates?
Locking plates use compatible locking screws, plus drills, plate holding forceps and benders for preparation and contouring. See our locking screws and locking plate instruments set collections.
