Proximal humeral fracture plate

Description

FIG. 1 is an environmental perspective view of a proximal humeral fracture plate for repairing a fracture of a patient's left humerus.

FIG. 2 is an anterior view of the proximal humeral fracture plate for repairing a fracture of a patient's left humerus.

FIG. 3 is a lateral view of the proximal humeral fracture plate for repairing a fracture of a patient's left humerus.

FIG. 4 is a medial view of the proximal humeral fracture plate for repairing a fracture of a patient's left humerus.

FIG. 5 is a posterior view of the proximal humeral fracture plate for repairing a fracture of a patient's left humerus.

FIG. 6 is a superior view of the proximal humeral fracture plate for repairing a fracture of a patient's left humerus.

FIG. 7 is an inferior view of the proximal humeral fracture plate for repairing a fracture of a patient's left humerus.

FIG. 8 is an environmental perspective view of a proximal humeral fracture plate for repairing a fracture of a patient's right humerus.

FIG. 9 is an anterior view of the proximal humeral fracture plate for repairing a fracture of a patient's right humerus.

FIG. 10 is a lateral view of the proximal humeral fracture plate for repairing a fracture of a patient's right humerus.

FIG. 11 is a medial view of the proximal humeral fracture plate for repairing a fracture of a patient's right humerus.

FIG. 12 is a posterior view of the proximal humeral fracture plate for repairing a fracture of a patient's right humerus.

FIG. 13 is a superior view of the proximal humeral fracture plate for repairing a fracture of a patient's right humerus; and,

FIG. 14 is an inferior view of the proximal humeral fracture plate for repairing a fracture of a patient's right humerus.

The broken line showing of bones in FIGS. 1 and 8 is included for the purpose of illustrating environment and forms no part of the claimed design.
