Evaluate the fracture type on the basis of
the X-rays / CT and select the appropriate
plate length and screw positions.
Also insert lag screws, if necessary.

:
To prevent extensive diaphyseal stress,
it is recommended that the medial and
lateral plates are not the same length,
with at least a two-hole difference
between the plates.
•
LOQTEQ® Distal Humerus Plates are anato-
mically precontoured to fit to the anatomy
of an average distal humerus.
•
In general, the articular block should be
reduced prior to repositioning the articular
block to the shaft.
•
Bicolumn fractures are common, requiring
fixation via a dual plate construct.
LOQTEQ® Elbow Plating System allows for
90° and 180° plate placement.
Minimum 2 holes difference
