Product Overview
INDICATIONS
The implants of the Alians Elbow range are dedicated to the fixation of fractures and osteotomies of the distal humerus and proximal ulna in adults.
TECHNICAL FEATURES:
• Precontoured implant including bendable sections
• Dualtec System® 2 technology: polyaxial holes allowing +/- 10° screw angulation (20° cone) ensuring optimum flexibility to capture bone fragments and prevent screws impinging on each other
Distal Humerus
•Fixation with two plates:
• parallel fixation: medial plate and lateral plate
perpendicular fixation: medial plate and posterol-lateral plate with or without a backing device
• Pre-mounted lateral support that can be removed in case of small size humerus or fractures of the capitellum
• Fixation with one plate:
• Y plate
Olecranon:
• Narrow, low-profile implant minimizing risks of skin necrosis and irritation of soft tissues
• Single screw diameter: 2.8 mm
• 2 epiphyseal hooks making fracture reduction easier and improving implant stability
IMPLANTS:
Distal Humerus
• 4 types of plates: medial in 4 sizes (length74 to 186 mm), lateral in 5 sizes (length 67 to 207 mm), postero-lateral in 5 sizes (length 71 to 213 mm) and • Y plates in 3 sizes (length 134 to 226 mm). The lateral, postero-lateral and Y plates are available in right and left versions
• Diaphyseal fixation: Ø3.5 mm locking and non-locking screws, length from 10 to 40 mm (2mm increment) and 40 to 60 mm (5mm increment)
• Epiphyseal fixation: Ø2.8 mm locking and non-locking screws, length 10 to 40 mm (2mm increment) and 40 to 60 mm (5mm increment)
Olecranon:
• 2 types of plates : Narrow plate (single size: 64 mm) and standard plates (length 102 to 182 mm)
• Single fixation: Ø2.8 mm locking and non-locking screws, length 10 to 40 mm (2mm increment) and 40 to 60 mm (5mm increment)
