Meditech CE&ISO Marked Orthopedic Surgical Implants Trauma Plate LC-DCP Humeral Plate

The LC-DCP plate adopts a limited contact design, only contacting the bone surface at points around the screw holes, which greatly reduces damage to the periosteal blood supply compared to the traditional full-contact DCP plate, effectively reducing the risk of non-union and bone atrophy, and promoting faster fracture healing.

It is especially suitable for unstable humeral shaft fractures such as oblique, spiral and comminuted fractures, as well as pathological fractures of the humerus. The dynamic compression function can effectively reduce the fracture gap and promote fracture healing, while the limited contact design protects the periosteal blood supply.

The plate is designed to avoid the radial nerve groove on the posterior humerus. As long as the anatomical approach is followed during surgery and the periosteum is stripped carefully, the risk of radial nerve injury is extremely low. The low-profile design also reduces postoperative soft tissue swelling and nerve compression risk.

Yes, the dynamic compression fixation provides stable biomechanical support, allowing patients to start passive and active upper limb functional exercises under the guidance of clinicians within 2-4 weeks after surgery, which helps to reduce the risk of joint stiffness and muscle atrophy, and improve functional recovery speed.

It is a temporary internal fixation implant, and the plate is usually removed 12-18 months after fracture healing according to the patient's recovery. The specific removal time needs to be determined by the clinician based on the patient's healing status.
