The proximal humerus is one of the most frequently plated sites in upper-limb trauma, and it is a locking-plate market: the patients are often older, the bone is often osteoporotic, and conventional screws find little to grip in the humeral head. The range on this page is focused and stocked deep: proximal lateral humerus locking plates in a full hole range, conventional 3.5 mm lateral plates for volume programs, an S3 proximal humerus locking plate system with smooth locking pegs, and polyaxial NCB plates for screw-angle flexibility around the head.
BoneCraft is an independent distributor of genuine Zimmer Biomet products. Every plate on this page is original factory stock with full batch traceability, supplied at wholesale terms to hospitals, regional distributors and purchasing groups. Lengths run from short four-hole versions to long sixteen-hole configurations, in mirrored left and right sides.
| PRODUCT TYPE | FIXATION | MATERIAL | HOLES / LENGTH | SIDE | SCREWS |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Proximal Humerus Lateral Locking Plate | Fixed-angle locking | Stainless steel | 4 – 16 holes, 90 – 234 mm | Left / Right | Locking + cortex |
| Proximal Humerus Lateral Plate, 3.5 mm | Non-locking | Stainless steel | 4 – 16 holes, 92 – 188 mm | Left / Right | 3.5 mm cortex |
| S3 Proximal Humerus Locking Plate | Fixed-angle locking | Stainless steel | Multiple head configurations | Left / Right | Locking + 4.0 mm smooth pegs |
| NCB Proximal Humerus Plate | Polyaxial locking | Titanium alloy | 4 – 5 holes | Universal | NCB locking |
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 range is focused on the proximal lateral humerus: fixed-angle locking plates in a full hole range, conventional small-fragment lateral plates for volume accounts, a peg-compatible locking plate system that accepts smooth locking pegs, and polyaxial NCB plates in titanium. Matching locking screws, cortex screws and pegs are supplied with each system, so a complete shoulder trauma set ships from one consignment.
Proximal humerus fractures concentrate in older patients with osteoporotic bone, and the humeral head offers thin, fragile stock for a conventional screw to bite into. A locking plate threads the screw heads into the plate and builds a fixed-angle scaffold under the articular surface, which holds the head fragments where a pressed plate would lose reduction. The final implant choice belongs to the operating surgeon, based on the fracture pattern and bone quality.
Smooth pegs give the humeral head support without a thread. In soft osteoporotic bone, a threaded screw can cut through when the fragment toggles, while a smooth peg presents a wider, gentler bearing surface under the subchondral bone. Systems that accept pegs, such as the peg-compatible locking plate we stock, are specified for exactly this situation.
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 and regulatory filings check proof of origin line by line, and our paperwork is prepared for exactly that scrutiny.
Yes. Mirrored left and right versions are standard across the anatomic plates, and lengths run from short versions around ninety millimeters up to long configurations beyond two hundred. 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. Plates combine with their locking screws, cortex screws and pegs, and buyers building an upper-limb line often add elbow and wrist 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.
Shoulder trauma plating is a focused category: one anatomical site, a clear technology direction, and a buyer group that knows exactly what it wants. The notes below reflect how this line is structured and where the stocking decisions sit.
Proximal humerus fractures are among the most common fragility fractures, and the patient profile sets the technology: older patients, osteoporotic bone, and a humeral head that gives conventional screws little purchase. Fixed-angle locking plates answer that profile by threading each screw head into the plate, building a scaffold that holds the head fragments as a unit. The market consequence is that locking plates carry the value end of this category, while conventional 3.5 mm plates continue to move in volume for simpler patterns and price-sensitive accounts. Most distributors we supply order both tiers together.
The technical conversation in this category is about the head. Divergent locking screws spread through the head to catch separate fragments. Smooth locking pegs support the subchondral bone without cutting through soft stock, which matters when the bone cannot hold a thread. Polyaxial systems add freedom to direct screws around fracture lines. These are the differences that make a surgeon specify one system over another, and they are the reason we stock the range as we do: fixed-angle locking plates with divergent screw patterns, an S3 system accepting smooth pegs, and polyaxial NCB plates in titanium.
| OPTION | FIXATION | ROLE IN AN ORDER |
|---|---|---|
| Conventional 3.5 mm lateral plate | Screw compresses plate to bone | Volume line, simpler patterns |
| Fixed-angle locking plate | Screw heads thread into plate | Core line, osteoporotic and multi-fragment cases |
| S3 locking plate with smooth pegs | Locking screws plus peg support | Head-support option for soft bone |
| NCB polyaxial plate | Variable-angle locking | Angle-critical fixation, titanium line |
Shoulder trauma buyers do not need a wide catalog; they need the lateral proximal humerus covered completely. Our stock runs from short four-hole versions to long sixteen-hole configurations in mirrored left and right sides, in both locking and conventional designs, with pegs and screws supplied per system. NCB and Zimmer Biomet product names appear on this page only to identify the genuine products being resold; they are trademarks of their respective owner, and BoneCraft is an independent distributor not affiliated with or endorsed by the trademark owner. Depth in one line, with documented genuine origin, is what makes this category reorder reliably.
Every shipment from BoneCraft carries batch traceability back to the original production lot, original labeling, and the export documents for customs and tender review. Shoulder plates combine with their pegs and screws, and accounts building an upper-limb line routinely add elbow and wrist items to the same consignment, with documentation issued per shipment for the whole set.
