Home > Proximal Ulna Plate (Traditional)
The traditional proximal ulna plate fixes fractures of the olecranon region and proximal ulnar metaphysis with classic compression technique — a contourable, non-locking plate for surgeons who prefer to shape the implant at the table and let the screws draw plate to bone. It is a genuine original implant from the Zimmer Biomet ZPLP elbow system, stocked by BoneCraft and distributed independently.
Not every proximal ulna fracture needs a locking plate. In younger patients with solid bone and clean fracture lines, a traditional plate fixed under compression gives rigid, low-cost stability with hardware that sits exactly where the surgeon shapes it. The technique is mature, forgiving of variation and familiar in every trauma theatre.
The traditional proximal ulna plate serves that caseload. It contours to the dorsal ridge at the table, compresses the fracture as its screws seat, and shares its anatomic logic with the locking line of the same system — so a service can hold both techniques on one shelf. Fracture assessment and the choice between traditional and locking fixation remain with the operating surgeon.
The plate is contoured to the dorsal surface of the proximal ulna and fixed with cortical screws. Eccentric drilling through the traditional holes compresses the fracture line as the screws tighten, and the shaped plate holds the reduction while union proceeds.
