Globus Medical Launches ANTHEM™ Elbow Fracture System
Globus Medical, Inc. has announced the launch of the ANTHEM™ Elbow Fracture System, a fully comprehensive plating portfolio designed to address a wide spectrum of elbow fractures.
The ANTHEM™ Elbow Fracture System is designed to offer surgeons anatomically contoured plates to treat a variety of fractures, regardless of severity or complexity, with a simplified workflow.
Engineered to simplify surgical workflows while offering versatility, the ANTHEM™ Elbow Fracture System provides anatomically contoured plates tailored for distal humerus, proximal ulna, proximal radius, and coronoid fractures. With 14 plate families, 2.7mm and 3.5mm screw options, and anatomy-specific reduction instruments, the system empowers surgeons to treat even the most complex fracture patterns .
All plates in the portfolio feature polyaxial locking technology, to enable either fixed-angle trajectories or screw placement within a 40º cone of angulation, offering flexibility in accommodating fixation strategies.
“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.”
“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.”
The ANTHEM™ Elbow Fracture System is the latest addition to Globus Medical’s expanding Trauma Portfolio, reinforcing the company’s dedication to innovation and excellence in musculoskeletal care.
