Globus Medical, Inc., a global leader in musculoskeletal solutions, has announced the launch of the ANTHEM™ Elbow Fracture System, a comprehensive plating portfolio engineered to treat a wide range of elbow fractures. The system provides surgeons with anatomically contoured plates that simplify complex procedures while maintaining precision and adaptability across various fracture types and severities.
“In the first clinical use of the ANTHEM™ Elbow Fracture System, I found the design to be both practical and reliable. The anatomically contoured plates fit well to the bone and supported fixation with minimal disruption of the triceps,” says Dr. Gary Updegrove, Penn State Health, Hershey, Pa. "The polyaxial locking holes, combined with calibrated drill guides, helped support precise screw placement and allowed me to achieve strong fixation while easily avoiding intra-articular penetration. As someone who specializes in complex elbow fracture surgery and upper extremity trauma care, I especially appreciated the flexibility of the system with multiple plate families and screw options available, I could tailor the construct to match the complexity of each fracture pattern in this case. This is exactly the kind of thoughtful design that makes a difference in elbow trauma surgery.”
Designed to streamline surgical workflows, the ANTHEM™ Elbow Fracture System offers anatomically optimized solutions for distal humerus, proximal ulna, proximal radius, and coronoid fractures. The system comprises 14 plate families, with 2.7mm and 3.5mm screw options, and anatomy-specific reduction instruments, allowing surgeons to effectively manage even the most complex fracture configurations with enhanced efficiency and control.
“The launch of the ANTHEM™ Elbow Fracture System marks another milestone in our commitment to advancing trauma care,” says John Mulchay, President of Orthopedics and Chief Commercial Officer at Globus Medical. “By delivering a comprehensive and intuitive solution for elbow fractures, we’re equipping surgeons with the tools they need to provide outstanding care and streamline procedures.”
All plates incorporate polyaxial locking technology, allowing surgeons to choose between fixed-angle screw trajectories or adjustable placement within a 40º cone of angulation to accommodate diverse fixation needs. The introduction of the ANTHEM™ Elbow Fracture System expands Globus Medical’s Trauma Portfolio, reinforcing its commitment to advancing orthopedic innovation and delivering best-in-class solutions for musculoskeletal care.
