Upper Limb LCP/DCP Instrument Set (2.4mm/3.5mm/4.0 mm)

LCP-DCP Upper Limb Plate System

The LCP-DCP Upper Limb Plate System is available in three size options: 2.4 mm, 3.5 mm, and 4.0 mm. Designed for internal fixation of upper extremity fractures, the system combines Locking Compression Plate (LCP) technology with Dynamic Compression Plate (DCP) principles to accommodate different fracture patterns and fixation requirements.

Featuring a patented Combi-hole structure, the plates are compatible with both locking screws and conventional cortical screws. Locking screws provide angular stability, while cortical screws allow dynamic compression across the fracture site. This dual-function design supports flexible fixation strategies for simple and complex fractures, osteoporotic bone, osteotomy procedures, and non-union treatment.

LCP-DCP Upper Limb Instrument Set

Universal Three-Size System: 2.4 mm / 3.5 mm / 4.0 mm

An integrated orthopedic fixation solution for a broad range of upper extremity trauma procedures.

Key Features

• Multiple fixation options for radius, ulna, and humerus fractures.

• Combines DCP-based compression fixation with LCP angular-stable fixation.

• Compatible with locking screws and cortical screws through the patented Combi-hole design.

• Supplied with a professional 39-piece integrated surgical instrument tray.

• Three plate size systems to accommodate different anatomical regions and fracture requirements.

Fixation Technologies and Surgical Techniques

Dynamic Compression Fixation (DCP)

Designed for relatively simple transverse and oblique fracture patterns. Cortical screws generate controlled axial compression across the fracture line, supporting absolute stability when appropriate for the fracture configuration.

Locking Plate Fixation (LCP)

Locking screws engage with the threaded plate holes to create an angular-stable fixation construct. This configuration is suitable for comminuted fractures and osteoporotic bone, while helping preserve periosteal blood supply through reduced dependence on direct plate-to-bone compression.

Combined Locking and Compression Fixation

The Combi-hole design allows surgeons to use locking and cortical screws within the same plate construct. Both fixation methods can be selected according to individual fracture characteristics, providing options for fragment positioning, fracture compression, and construct stability.

Plate Sizes and Clinical Applications

2.4 mm System – Hand and Wrist Applications

Suitable for fixation procedures involving smaller upper extremity bones and peri-articular regions.

Typical Applications:

• Distal radius and distal ulna fractures.

• Radial head and radial neck fractures.

• Comminuted fractures around the wrist joint.

3.5 mm System – General Upper Limb Fixation

A versatile plate system for a range of upper extremity shaft and peri-articular fracture procedures.

Typical Applications:

• Radius and ulna shaft fractures.

• Olecranon fracture reconstruction.

• Supracondylar fractures.

• Clavicle fractures.

4.0 mm System – Humeral Fixation

Designed for fixation and reconstruction involving larger upper extremity bones that require an appropriate plate size and fixation construct.

Typical Applications:

• Proximal humeral fractures.

• Midshaft humeral fractures.

• Bone reconstruction procedures following bone grafting.

Additional Surgical Applications

The LCP-DCP Upper Limb Plate System also supports a range of specialized orthopedic procedures, including:

• MIPO Techniques: Minimally Invasive Plate Osteosynthesis for selected fracture fixation procedures.

• Revision Surgery: Reconstruction and refixation of malunions and nonunions.

• Open Fracture Fixation: Internal fixation procedures for appropriately selected open fractures.

The combination of three plate size options, dual fixation mechanisms, and a dedicated 39-piece instrument set provides surgeons with a versatile solution for upper extremity fracture management.
