Alians - Elbow Surgery for Fixation of Fractures and Osteotomies

The implants of the Alians Elbow range are dedicated to the fixation of fractures and osteotomies of the distal humerus and proximal ulna in adults. The treatment of elbow fractures is a demanding challenge. The most common causes of these fractures are falls by osteoporotic elderly persons and high energy injuries or road accidents in younger patients. Intra-articular fractures require a stable joint reconstruction, which may be particularly complicated to achieve in elderly osteoporotic patients. Over the last few years double plate reduction (180° parallel or 90° perpendicular construct) has become the treatment of choice for the reduction of distal humerus fractures. The latest generations of anatomic locking plates specifically allow improving primary stability and having an improved control of the reduction for early activity recovery. For extra-articular fractures, Y-plates that stabilise the two lateral and medial columns is an alternative to double plate fixation.
