INTEOS® Elbow Systems

The elbow joint is a complex joint, in terms of osseous anatomy, ligamentous stability in support and its variety and complexity in range of motion. While elbow dislocations are quite frequently seen, elbow fractures are comparatively rare in occurrence. Surgical treatment remains challenging, and treatment outcomes can still vary significantly. At the same time, a stable and painless elbow joint is crucial in most activities of daily living.

In our continuous effort to improve in all that we do and offer, the INTEOS® Elbow System portfolio has reached its 2nd generation, combining years of our product design and production experience with the present-day surgical expertise of our clinical developing partners, all experts in their field.

INTEOS® Olecranon System

Treatment options

Our anatomically pre-shaped VA-locking olecranon plates are designed in left- and right-sided versions, with or without lashes and in a range of shaft-length sizes to provide the surgeon with options for the primary and secondary treatment of both intra- and extraarticular olecranon fractures as well as osteotomies.

Main features and benefits
Plates have a modest footprint and sleek, low-profile design to minimize soft-tissue irritation in a tight soft-tissue envelope
The option of loops provides additional screw options medial and lateral to the plate footprint to improve the rotational stability of the construct and extend its fixation range in more comminuted fracture patterns
INTEOS® locking technology, which enables unparalleled polyaxiality even at the most acute angles and no or minimal protrusion of the screw head when fully locked
Plate pre-shaping and preset screw locking angles provide valuable feedback to determine appropriate fracture reduction and correct plate position; however, plate shape can also be adjusted across the INTEOS® locking holes if required
K-wire holes offer options for temporary plate fixation and soft tissue repair

INTEOS® Humerus distal System

Hofer_Medical_Solutions_Humerus_distal
Treatment options
Our plate portfolio for the distal humerus consists of anatomically contoured, VA-locking plates that can be used, either in isolation along the medial or lateral column, or combined along both columns to form 90° and 180° double plating constructs. They are indicated for the primary and secondary treatment of intra- and extraarticular distal humerus fractures as well as osteotomies.
Main features and benefits
Distal lateral loops in the dorsolateral plate designs provide additional screw options for triangulated osteosynthesis constructs across the trochlea to improve construct stability in more comminuted fracture patterns
Medial and lateral plate designs are available in a basic and an extended version, with the latter version ending further distally around the epiphyses and approaching the axis of the trochlea, providing additional locking options to improve construct stability in more comminuted fracture patterns by triangulating across the trochlea

INTEOS®locking technology that offers unparalleled polyaxiality and no or minimal protrusion of the screw head when fully locked, even at the sharpest angles possible

INTEOS® Coronoid System

Treatment options

The INTEOS® Coronoid Plate is one of the latest additions to our INTEOS® Elbow Plate portfolio and is indicated for the primary treatment of coronoid fractures often caused by subluxation or dislocation of the elbow. Anatomical reduction and rigid fixation are key to restoring concentric alignment of the elbow.

Main features and benefits
The plates have a minimal footprint and a slim, flat design to minimize soft tissue irritation and allow additional osteosynthesis, e.g. on the olecranon
The plate geometry guides proximal iuxta-articular plate positioning, which in turn allows placement of subchondral raft screws to support the reduced articular surface
An additional proximal plate hook enables the fixation of very small tear-off fragments
Despite the minimal contact area, the panel contains K-wire holes for temporary panel fixation

INTEOS® Radius head System

Hofer_Medical_Solutions_Radius_Head
Treatment options

INTEOS® Radial head plate is one of the latest additions to our INTEOS® Elbow plate portfolio and is indicated for the primary treatment of radial head fractures, as well as osteotomies. It is available in two geometries: The radial head buttress plate and radial head rim plate, both to be placed in the Hotchkiss Safe Zone, the zone free of radial head and proximal ulna impingement and located on the opposite side of Tuberositas Radii.

Main features and benefits
Very precisely anatomically shaped, with a footprint that remains completely within the Hotchkiss Safe Zone
If it is necessary to bend the panel, make sure that it is not bent over the panel holes
A combination of footprint and screw options ensures high rotational stability of the structure
Staggered shaft screw options to avoid screw interference
Extremely flat plate design without screw head protrusion with fully locked screws and laterally rounded plate profile to facilitate radial head rotation
The radial head support plate can be used for radial neck fractures as the plate sits distal to the annular ligament
