Olecranon Locking Plate II

The Olecranon Locking Plate II represents the next generation in fixation for complex olecranon fractures. Building upon the success of the original design, the 'II' variant features a refined, ultra-low profile to significantly reduce hardware prominence and soft tissue irritation over the sensitive posterior elbow. This plate is anatomically pre-contoured for the posterior ulna and incorporates advanced multi-directional locking screw capability in key areas to capture highly comminuted articular fragments with increased purchase. Constructed from premium Titanium Alloy (Ti6Al4V ELI), the Plate II continues to function as a powerful tension band to neutralize the distracting forces of the triceps muscle, while its enhanced design facilitates superior stability, crucial for achieving an anatomical reduction and initiating accelerated post-operative elbow mobilization.

Product Description

Olecranon Locking Plate II Overview


Olecranon Locking Plate II Features and Benefits

·Ultra-Low Profile Head and Shaft

The entire plate design has been thinned and smoothed compared to the first generation, drastically reducing the risk of implant-related pain and the need for plate removal.

·Optimized Locking Screw Trajectories

Features enhanced screw angulation to capture articular fragments more effectively, maximizing bone stock engagement in the short olecranon fragment.

·Strong Tension Band Mechanism

Maintains the critical biomechanical function of converting triceps tension into fracture compression, essential for healing stability and preventing displacement.

·Distal Contouring for Extended Fractures

Includes a specialized curve at the distal end of the plate shaft to accommodate fractures that extend distally into the proximal ulna, offering extended fixation options.


Olecranon Locking Plate II Indications

·Comminuted and Displaced Olecranon Fractures

Primary indication for complex fracture patterns (especially those involving the joint surface) that demand enhanced stability and reduced hardware prominence.

·Olecranon Fractures in Elderly or Osteoporotic Patients

Recommended for patients with compromised bone quality, as the optimized fixed-angle locking provides superior purchase and pull-out resistance.

·Post-Traumatic Arthritis Prevention

Used to achieve highly accurate articular reduction, minimizing residual joint step-off that could lead to secondary post-traumatic arthritis.

Olecranon Locking Plate II Insights


What is Olecranon Locking Plate II?

The Olecranon Locking Plate II is TOOLMED's upgraded, titanium brace for severe elbow tip fractures. It performs the same essential function as the original—resisting the pull of the triceps muscle—but with a slimmer, smoother profile. Because the elbow tip is right under the skin, a slimmer plate means less irritation and a much lower chance that the patient will need a second surgery later to have the metal removed.


Applications of Olecranon Locking Plate II

Surgeons choose the Plate II for comminuted fractures, especially in patients who are thin or elderly, where hardware bulk is a major concern. The improved locking screw angles also make it the preferred choice when the fracture is severely splintered, as it can capture and stabilize small bone pieces more reliably.


Advantages of Olecranon Locking Plate II

The primary advantage is the reduced hardware palpability. Elbow plates are notoriously prominent. By making the plate thinner, TOOLMED significantly improves patient comfort. Furthermore, the enhanced fixed-angle locking mechanism provides even greater purchase in soft bone, ensuring the fixation is stable enough to allow accelerated rehabilitation.


Biomechanics of Olecranon Locking Plate II

Like its predecessor, the Plate II functions as a tension band, but the Plate II's optimized screw trajectories allow the fixed-angle construct to better manage the shear forces in the joint. This superior biomechanical environment translates directly into less risk of fracture displacement and a more accurate restoration of the joint's smooth gliding surface.


Surgical Technique of Olecranon Locking Plate II

The surgical approach is similar to the original, but the thinner design allows for easier application and less tissue dissection. Surgeons appreciate the Plate II's precise contouring, which minimizes the need for time-consuming intraoperative plate bending, speeding up the procedure while ensuring an optimal fit.


Postoperative Care of Olecranon Locking Plate II

The enhanced stability of the Plate II strongly supports the goal of early, controlled range of motion. Rehabilitation protocols can often be more aggressive than those used for older fixation methods, directly combating the high risk of stiffness associated with elbow trauma and leading to faster functional recovery.


Conclusion

The Olecranon Locking Plate II represents the evolution of elbow trauma care. By combining the proven tension-band principle with ultra-low-profile titanium and advanced locking technology, it provides superior stability and comfort, making it the preferred choice for complex olecranon fracture reconstruction.


FAQs of Olecranon Locking Plate II


Why is a low-profile design important for the elbow?

The olecranon is located directly under the skin and tendons. A thicker plate can rub against these tissues, causing pain, inflammation (bursitis), or tendon irritation, often requiring the plate to be removed. A low profile greatly minimizes this risk.


Does the Plate II offer a hook option?

Depending on the specific variant, the Plate II system offers both hook (grasping the olecranon tip) and non-hook designs, allowing the surgeon to choose the appropriate fixation based on the fracture pattern and comminution.


Can this plate be used for fractures extending into the ulnar shaft?

Yes. The Plate II comes in various lengths, including those with an extended shaft to provide stable fixation for fractures that are associated with distal extension down the ulna.


Is the titanium alloy in Plate II different?

It uses the same high-standard, medical-grade Ti6Al4V ELI titanium as other TOOLMED implants, but the plate's physical geometry and stress distribution have been redesigned for the new generation.


How soon can the patient start moving the elbow?

Due to the rigid fixation provided by the locking plate, passive range of motion is typically started immediately (within the first week post-surgery), though specific limits are set by the surgeon to protect the soft tissue repair.
