2.7 mm/3.5mm Variable Angle LCP® Elbow System

Founded upon the established principles of DePuy Synthes LCP System technology and the first generation elbow plates, the Variable Angle LCP Elbow Plating System has the following features:

Designed to reduce the risk of soft tissue irritation by taking into account the poor soft tissue coverage of the elbow, thereby improving the plate profile with an anatomical plate contour and enabling the screw heads to sit flush in the plate hole.

Offers simplicity and adaptability: variable angle locking technology combines the simplicity of the established LCP System screw insertion technique with the possibility of adapting screw angulations. Adaptability is enhanced during screw insertion by offering predefined screw angles while allowing +/-15° off-axis angulation, if needed.

Responds to the specifics of proximal ulna fractures by recognizing the particular biomechanical requirements of each fracture type and therefore offering specific implants with optimized shapes and screw configurations.

Provides multiple distal humerus plate configurations including parallel and perpendicular plating, allowing surgeons to choose their preferred solution.

Building on success…

…improving patient care.

Plate design

Contoured metaphyseal plate profile, together with roundededges and an improved anatomical plate fit help reduce theprominence of the construct without compromising stability.

Poor soft tissue coverage of the elbow makes the area proneto implant prominence. The VA-LCP Elbow Plating System isdesigned to help reduce the risk of soft tissue irritation throughfocused improvements to the implant design and profile.

Plate-screw interface designed forminimal screw-head prominence

2.7 mm variable angle locking screw: recess for screw-head minimizes screw prominence.

2.7 mm variable angle locking screws give the surgeon theability to create a fixed-angle construct with the freedom of+/-15° off-axis screw angulation. This enables the surgeon to:– Adapt screw angulations to patient anatomy– Capture specific fracture fragments– Adjust screw trajectory after plate bending– Position screws precisely to avoid joint penetration

2.7 mm low-profile metaphyseal compression screw:– Low-profile alternative to a cortex screw– Pulls the plate to the bone. Fully threaded, therefore not

intended to generate interfragmentary compression– Same thread as a variable angle locking screw or locking

screw– Can be replaced with a locking screw after plate-to-bone

compression has been achieved

Plate configurations

The VA LCP Elbow Plating System offers three main double-plating configurations for the distal humerus.

Parallel

Choose your preferred plate configuration

VA LCP System Distal Humerus Plates

The plates offer multiple screw configurations for the medial and lateral columns, and the articular block.

1 Medial Plate The standard medial column plate for both perpendicular and parallel plating configurations.

2 Extended Medial Plate The extension buttresses the medial epicondyle and includes an ascending screw that stabilizes the medial column.

3 Lateral Plate The lateral plate for the parallel-plating configuration that allows long screws into the trochlea from lateral to medial.

4 Posterolateral Plate The posterolateral plate for the perpendicular-plating configuration with screws targeting the capitellum.

5 Posterolateral Plate, with lateral support The screws from the lateral support target the articular block.

VA LCP Elbow Plating SystemDePuy Synthes products are a combination of innovation and surgeon partnerships. A dedicated, global surgeon team was integral to the design of this system through extensive consultation and participation in several cadaver workshops. Surgeon interviews and feedback determined the key components necessary for the DePuy Synthes VA LCP Elbow Plating System.
