Elbow fixation splits into two product groups: distal humerus plates, which rebuild the joint from the humeral side, and olecranon and proximal ulna plates, which rebuild it from the ulnar side. The range on this page covers both: distal humerus plates in medial, lateral and posterolateral columns, in locking and conventional designs, stainless steel and titanium, plus proximal ulna locking plates and olecranon plates with matching screws.
BoneCraft is an independent distributor of genuine Zimmer Biomet products. Every elbow plate listed here is original factory stock with full batch traceability, supplied at wholesale terms to hospitals, regional distributors and purchasing groups. Lengths run from short three-hole versions to long fifteen-hole configurations, in mirrored left and right sides, so the plate fits the column rather than the column worked around the stock.

As an independent distributor with 2,800+ SKUs in stock, we supply genuine, FDA-cleared and CE-marked trauma implants at wholesale prices — every unit factory-packaged, lot-traceable and ready to ship worldwide.
The stock covers both sides of the elbow joint. From the humeral side: distal humerus plates in medial, lateral and posterolateral columns, in locking and conventional designs, stainless steel and titanium. From the ulnar side: proximal ulna locking plates and olecranon plates, including anatomic versions with an optional targeter. Matching locking and cortex screws are supplied with each system.
The distal humerus is shaped like two columns holding a spool, and a stable reconstruction normally plates both columns. Medial plates sit on the inner column, lateral and posterolateral plates cover the outer column, and surgeons choose the combination by fracture pattern. A supplier that stocks only one column forces the account to split orders, which is why we hold all three in both locking and conventional designs.
The two overlap in anatomy but differ in design intent. An olecranon plate is shaped for the tip of the elbow, low in profile and curved to cap the olecranon, and it serves fractures of the olecranon itself. A proximal ulna locking plate runs further down the ulnar shaft, in longer configurations, and serves fracture patterns that extend into the proximal metaphysis. The final choice belongs to the operating surgeon.
BoneCraft is an independent distributor of genuine Zimmer Biomet products, and every plate we ship is original factory stock. Each order carries batch and lot traceability, original labeling and packaging, and the export documentation your import process requires. Tender reviews check proof of origin line by line, and our paperwork is prepared for that scrutiny.
Yes. Mirrored left and right versions are standard across the anatomic plates, and lengths run from short versions around seventy millimeters up to long configurations beyond two hundred. Medial plates also come in short-type versions for smaller anatomy. When you order, quote the catalogue number with the side suffix, and side and length are checked again before packing.
Yes, mixed consignments are routine. Elbow plates combine with their matching screws, and buyers building an upper-limb line often add wrist and shoulder items to the same shipment. Stocked items dispatch quickly, and lead time for larger or non-stock configurations is confirmed with the quotation against your list.
Elbow plating is a mid-volume category with an unusual structure: demand is driven by a two-column reconstruction logic on the humeral side and a separate olecranon line on the ulnar side. Buyers who understand that structure stock it profitably; buyers who treat it as one generic plate line end up with the wrong mix. The notes below reflect how the category is ordered in practice.
The distal humerus carries the elbow joint on two bony columns, and modern fixation rebuilds both. The medial plate covers the inner column, the lateral or posterolateral plate covers the outer column, and the two together give the construct its stability. This anatomy explains the ordering pattern in this category: distal humerus plates move in coordinated sets, medial paired with lateral or posterolateral, in matched lengths and sides. A stock that holds only the medial column, or holds columns in mismatched lengths, cannot serve a complete elbow program. We stock all three columns in locking stainless steel, plus conventional titanium versions, with left and right sides across the range.
The distal humerus is periarticular bone with small distal fragments, which is why fixed-angle locking designs dominate the complex end of this category. Conventional plates still move in volume for simpler extra-articular patterns and for accounts where price pressure is strong. Most distributors we supply run a two-tier order: locking plates for the periarticular and osteoporotic cases, conventional titanium plates for turnover. The same logic applies on the ulnar side, where olecranon plates with locking heads hold the small proximal fragments that tension-band wiring used to handle.
| COLUMN / SITE | PLATES | ROLE IN AN ORDER |
|---|---|---|
| Medial column | Medial locking plate, standard & short | Core item, pairs with outer column plates |
| Lateral column | Lateral locking plate, lateral titanium plate | Core item, the outer half of the set |
| Posterolateral column | Posterolateral locking plate | Alternative outer-column option, surgeon preference |
| Proximal ulna / olecranon | Proximal ulna locking plate, olecranon plate | Second product line, steady reorder pattern |
Elbow fractures vary from a simple extra-articular pattern needing a short plate to a fracture extending well into the shaft needing a long configuration. Our locking plates run from short three-hole versions up to fifteen-hole configurations, in mirrored left and right sides, with short-type medial plates for smaller anatomy. Coverage across that spread is what turns a trial account into a standing replenishment order, because the alternative for the buyer is splitting the range across two or three suppliers.
Every shipment from BoneCraft carries batch traceability back to the original Zimmer Biomet production lot, original labeling, and the export documents for customs and tender review. Elbow plates combine with their matching screws, and accounts building an upper-limb line routinely add wrist and shoulder items to the same consignment, with documentation issued per shipment for the whole set.
