The Acromion of Scapula Locking Plate is a precision-engineered orthopedic implant designed specifically for the anatomical constraints of the acromion process. Due to the subcutaneous nature of the acromion, this plate features an ultra-low profile and rounded edges to minimize soft tissue irritation and hardware palpability. Manufactured from high-biocompatibility Titanium Alloy (Ti6Al4V ELI), the plate utilizes Locking Technology to provide fixed-angle stability, which is essential for managing comminuted fractures or patients with compromised bone quality (osteoporosis). The TOOLMED acromion plate is pre-contoured to match the superior curvature of the scapular spine and acromion, allowing for the stable restoration of the shoulder’s mechanical foundation and early range of motion.

Product Description
The plate is specifically shaped to mirror the complex anatomy of the acromion and lateral scapular spine, reducing the need for intraoperative manual bending and ensuring a flush fit against the bone surface.
Designed with tapered edges and recessed screw heads to minimize interference with the overlying soft tissue and skin, significantly reducing post-operative hardware prominence and patient discomfort.
The locking screw-to-plate interface creates a rigid internal construct that resists toggling and pull-out, providing superior fixation in the thin, cortical bone typical of the acromion process.
Features limited-contact designs to protect the periosteal blood supply under the plate, promoting faster biological bone healing while maintaining high mechanical strength.
Primary indication for the fixation of comminuted or displaced fractures of the acromion that require rigid stabilization to restore shoulder joint kinetics.
Indicated for fractures extending from the acromion into the scapular spine, where stable anchorage is needed to maintain the origin sites of the deltoid and trapezius muscles.
Used to provide stable mechanical fixation during corrective procedures for malunited acromial fractures or in the treatment of chronic shoulder girdle non-unions.

The Acromion of Scapula Locking Plate is a specialized titanium internal brace. It is designed to act as a "cast inside the body" for the bony roof of the shoulder (the acromion). Because the acromion is thin and very close to the skin, this plate is uniquely slim, designed to hold bone fragments together without the patient feeling a large metal bump after they heal.
This plate is used in high-energy trauma cases, such as falls or car accidents, where the shoulder blade is smashed. It is crucial because the acromion is where the powerful deltoid muscle attaches; if the bone is not fixed straight, the patient loses the ability to lift their arm. The plate restores this mechanical bridge.
The primary advantage is fixed-angle locking technology. In thin bone like the acromion, standard screws might wiggle loose. Locking screws tighten into the plate, creating a single unit that cannot move, even if the patient has thin or soft bone (osteoporosis). This allows for much earlier movement than older plating methods.
Biomechanically, the plate acts as a tension band. It neutralizes the forces applied by the deltoid muscle, which constantly pulls downward on the acromion. By bridging the fracture on the superior (top) surface, the plate keeps the fragments in compression, which is the perfect mechanical environment for bone growth.
The surgeon makes an incision over the shoulder, aligns the broken fragments, and places the pre-contoured plate. Screws are driven into the lateral acromion and the scapular spine. Intraoperative X-rays are used to confirm that the shoulder joint remains clear and that the screws have provided a "rock-solid" construct before closing.
Because the locking plate is so stable, surgeons can often start "passive motion" (moving the arm with help) just days after surgery. This prevents the shoulder from becoming permanently stiff. Patients typically wear a sling for 4-6 weeks while the plate carries the load, after which active lifting can slowly resume.
The Acromion of Scapula Locking Plate is a specialized solution for complex shoulder girdle trauma. Its blend of anatomical shaping and advanced titanium locking technology provides a stable, low-profile anchor that allows patients to regain essential arm function after severe shoulder fractures.
Because the acromion is close to the skin, there is a small chance of feeling it, but TOOLMED designs these plates with an ultra-low profile to minimize this sensation as much as possible.
Yes. Titanium is lighter, highly biocompatible, and has a stiffness closer to natural bone, which reduces the chance of "stress shielding" where the bone becomes weak under the plate.
In most patients, the plate stays in permanently. It is only removed if it causes irritation to the overlying skin or tendons after the fracture is fully healed (usually after one year).
This varies, but typically 4 to 8 specialized locking screws are used to distribute force evenly and ensure the construct remains stable against muscle pull.
Yes. Titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V ELI) is non-ferromagnetic (not magnetic), meaning it is generally safe for MRI scans, though it can cause a small shadow (artifact) on the image near the plate.
