Product Overview
Designed to provide multiple solutions for fractures of the humerus, the Polarus 3 Solution provides plate and nail options in one comprehensive system. The system includes a Posterior Plate for capturing posterior greater tuberosity fragments as well as a Standard Plate for less complex fractures. Nail options include both a Proximal and a Long Nail.
Key Features
• Plate and Nail Options
• Polarus 3 offers a comprehensive plate solution, as well as short and long nails.
• Plate: Lateral Plate with Posterior Tab Option
Three screw trajectories are designed to target the calcar and two bendable posterior tabs are included to buttress the greater tuberosity.
• Plate: Medial Buttress Support
Three targeted calcar screws are designed to help prevent the humeral head from collapsing into varus.
• Nail: A More Medial Entry
A four-degree curvature in the nail allows for a more medial entry that helps preserve the rotator cuff and facilitates insertion.
• Nail: Proximal Locking Mechanism
Pre-assembled PEEK insert is designed to prevent screw back-out by creating proximal locking screw friction. (https://www.acumed.net/)
