S 3 <strong>Proximal</strong> <strong>Humerus</strong> Plate<br />
Based on our experience in distal radius fracture management we’ve designed the new <strong>Proximal</strong> Humeral Plate.<br />
Simplified Soft Tissue Fixation<br />
• Uniquely designed suture holes allow tuberosity repairs after humeral head fixation<br />
• Suture holes are designed to accommodate multiple passes for extensive soft tissue fixation<br />
F.A.S.T. Guide Technology<br />
• Pre-loaded single use disposable drill guides<br />
• No intraoperative assembly required resulting in significant time savings<br />
• F.A.S.T. Guide are colour coded for easy plate identification: Red = Right, Lime = Left<br />
Help Restore the Natural Anatomy<br />
• Precisely contoured plates are designed to<br />
mirror the complex shape of the<br />
proximal humerus<br />
• The S 3 <strong>Proximal</strong> <strong>Humerus</strong> Plate is designed<br />
to act as a reduction template to help restore<br />
the natural anatomy<br />
• Multiple 4.0 mm subchondral support pegs<br />
and screws maintain fracture reduction<br />
Minimise Subacromial Impingement<br />
• The S 3 <strong>Proximal</strong> <strong>Humerus</strong> Plate is designed<br />
to be positioned approximately 3.0 cm distal to<br />
the greater tuberosity preventing<br />
subacromial impingement<br />
• Anatomically contoured under surface aids in<br />
restoring humeral head rotation<br />
Provide a Strong and Stable Construct<br />
• Precise fixed angle peg distribution provides<br />
spatial subchondral support to resist varus<br />
forces throughout the full range of motion<br />
• <strong>Proximal</strong> and distal locking screws and pegs<br />
ensure a strong interface for a secure and<br />
stable construct<br />
• Blunt tipped subchondral support pegs<br />
provide improved stability while preventing<br />
protrusion through the articular surface<br />
Achieve Predictable and<br />
Reproducible Results<br />
• Central guiding K-Wire provides visual<br />
confirmation for plate positioning<br />
• Manually inserted blunt-tipped drill bits provide<br />
protection against the potential perforation of<br />
the articular surface<br />
• Predetermined peg trajectories ensure a<br />
consistent spatial distribution within the<br />
humeral head<br />

<strong>Surgical</strong> <strong>Technique</strong><br />
Step 1: Procedure Mapping<br />
• Exposure: deltopectoral<br />
• Identify: coracoid, acromium and<br />
deltoid insertion<br />
Step 4: Exposure<br />
• The exposure is through a 12 ‐ 14 cm incision<br />
• Identify and retract the cephalic vein<br />
• Develop the interval between the pectoralis<br />
and deltoid<br />
• Extend incision line distal from coracoid<br />
• Self retaining retractors are useful for exposure<br />
Tips: during the exposure, the 2.8 mm drill<br />
bit can be loaded in preparation for plate<br />
application.<br />
Step 2: Patient Positioning<br />
• Sterile Mayo stand assists during dissection<br />
Tips: the procedure can be performed in the<br />
beach chair position or supine as per surgeon’s<br />
discretion.<br />
Step 5: Pectoralis Incision and<br />
Identification of the Biceps Tendon<br />
• Gently retract the coracobrachialis medially<br />
• Find the pectoralis insertion at the floor of the<br />
deltoid pectoralis interval<br />
• Release the proximal third of the pectoralis<br />
tendon to expose the biceps<br />
Step 3: Acquire Initial Images<br />
• Examine the fracture under fluoroscopy<br />
• Internal rotation, external rotation and<br />
sometimes axillary views are necessary<br />
Step 6: Complete Exposure<br />
• Develop the subacromial space and mobilise<br />
the proximal deltoid<br />
Tips: use of a large, blunt humeral head<br />
depressor can facilitate exposure.<br />

Step 7: Fracture Debridement<br />
• Debride the fracture<br />
Step 10: Apply Bone Graft<br />
• To facilitate healing, bone graft should<br />
be considered<br />
Step 8: Fracture Reduction<br />
• After debridement, the fracture is reduced by<br />
traction and indirect manipulation<br />
Tips: remove the Mayo table to<br />
facilitate reduction.<br />
Step 11: Determine the Proper<br />
Plate Position<br />
• Select the appropriate side plate (left or right)<br />
• Choose the appropriate length (3,4,6,8,11 or<br />
14 hole)<br />
• Fix the shaft of the plate using a 3.8 mm<br />
cortical screw through the slotted hole<br />
Tips: If using prepacked sterile implants, S3<br />
trial templates can be used to confirm the<br />
required plate size.<br />
Apply the plate 2 cm to 2.5 cm distal to the<br />
insertion of the supraspinatus, the anterior<br />
border of the plate should be immediately<br />
lateral to the bicipital groove.<br />
Step 9: Tuberosity Repair<br />
• In the case of severe comminution, suturing<br />
the rotator cuff together will help reduce<br />
the tuberosities<br />
After plate positioning a 2.0 mm guide wire will<br />
need to be loaded in the wire driver.<br />
Step 12: Drill Central Guide Wire<br />
• Drill the 2.0 mm guide wire through the central<br />
hole on the proximal portion of the plate.<br />
Advance slowly and verify its trajectory<br />
under fluoroscopy<br />

<strong>Surgical</strong> <strong>Technique</strong><br />
Step 13: Verify Central Guide<br />
Wire Placement<br />
• Place the guide wire in the centre of the<br />
humeral head<br />
• This plate position will reduce the risk of<br />
subacromial impingement<br />
Step 15: Manually Drill for Subchondral<br />
Support Pegs<br />
• With the 4.0 mm drill attached to the driver<br />
handle, advance the drill, through the drill<br />
guide until resistance from subchondral bone<br />
is felt<br />
• This will ensure that the peg engages<br />
subchondral bone for optimal fixation<br />
Tips: when drilling for smooth pegs use FDB40L<br />
(Drill Bit Fast 4.0 mm Long).<br />
When drilling for partially threaded pegs use<br />
FDS40 (Drill Bit Fast 4.0 mm Step).<br />
Step 14: Drill Cortex Through<br />
F.A.S.T. Guide<br />
• Using the short 4.0mm drill (FDB40S), drill<br />
through the F.A.S.T. Guide and perforate<br />
the cortex<br />
• This drill has a stop that will only<br />
allow it to penetrate the<br />
near cortex<br />
• If re-drilling is required after F.A.S.T. Guide<br />
removal, thread the drill guide (DRGSH) into<br />
the desired peg hole and drill on power using<br />
DB40S (Drill Bit Short 4.0 mm)<br />
Tips: bending the central guide wire and<br />
rotating it out of the way will ease the<br />
attachment of the drill guide to the plate.<br />
Other K-Wire holes can be used to provisionally<br />
fix the plate to the bone.<br />
Step 16: Verify Drill Depth<br />
• Once resistance is felt, fluoro imaging should<br />
verify that the tip of the manual drill is close to<br />
subchondral bone<br />
• Care should be taken not to penetrate<br />
subchondral bone<br />
Tips: the depth gauges have a bias built in that<br />
will reduce the measured depth by 2.5 mm. If<br />
peg to subchondral bone contact is desired,<br />
add 2.5 mm to the depth gauge.<br />
Depths can be Gauged from the<br />
manual drill or the sleeveless depth<br />
gauge. Both can be read through<br />
either the F.A.S.T. Guide or through<br />
the drill guide, using the appropriate<br />
calibrated scale.<br />

Step 17: Attach Tuberosities to Plate<br />
• Using 20 gauge, monofilament stainless wire,<br />
secure the tuberosities to the plate by passing<br />
the needles close to the insertion of the tendon<br />
and then through to side, front or top loading<br />
wire attachment points (see insert)<br />
Step 19: Final Verification<br />
• Evaluate the humerus under fluoroscopy to<br />
assess the reduction and to confirm<br />
proper positioning<br />
• Twist the wire until appropriate tension<br />
is reached<br />
Step 18: Fix Remaining Screws in Plate<br />
• The shaft of the plate can be fixed with either<br />
90˚ locking screws or multidirectional<br />
cortical screws<br />
Step 20: Function<br />
• The S 3 <strong>Proximal</strong> <strong>Humerus</strong> Plate is designed<br />
to provide the greatest patient function and the<br />
lowest risk of subacromial impingement<br />
• Using the appropriate end of the tissue<br />
protector, drill to the correct depth (far cortex)<br />
and measure with the barrel depth gauge<br />
• Multiple divergent blunt pegs provide optimum<br />
subchondral support<br />
• Use a set screw for each 90˚ screw to lock it<br />
into place<br />
• Do not use a set screw when using<br />
multidirectional screws<br />
Tips: an alternate approach is to apply the wire<br />
tension bands to the plate prior to placing the<br />
subchondral support pegs. This may aid in the<br />
reduction.<br />
