AUDUBON, PA — Globus Medical, Inc. (NYSE: GMED) has unveiled the ANTHEM™ Elbow Fracture System, a comprehensive plating platform designed to simplify surgical workflows and expand treatment options for a wide range of elbow fractures.
The system features anatomically contoured plates engineered for distal humerus, proximal ulna, proximal radius, and coronoid fractures, with 14 plate families and 2.7mm and 3.5mm screw options. Its polyaxial locking technology enables either fixed-angle trajectories or screw placement within a 40-degree cone of angulation, giving surgeons flexibility in achieving precise fixation.
“In the first clinical use of the ANTHEM™ Elbow Fracture System, I found the design to be both practical and reliable,” said Dr. Gary Updegrove of Penn State Health. “The anatomically contoured plates fit well to the bone and supported fixation with minimal disruption of the triceps. 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.”
John Mulchay, President of Orthopedics and Chief Commercial Officer at Globus Medical, said the system reflects the company’s ongoing investment in trauma innovation. “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 expands Globus Medical’s orthopedic trauma portfolio, reinforcing its strategy to combine advanced engineering with clinical insight to improve patient outcomes in complex fracture care.
