Apparatus for the fixation of proximal humerus fractures

A proximal humerus fracture fixation system comprising:

• an implantable humerus plate comprising:
• a proximal portion adapted to be positioned at a head and medial calcar of the humerus, and
• a distal portion adapted to be positioned along a shaft of the humerus,
• the proximal portion defining a plurality of calcar openings through the proximal portion, the calcar openings adapted to receive calcar fasteners that extend into the medial calcar;
• and
• an aiming apparatus comprising:
• a body that attaches to the proximal portion of the humerus plate,
• an elongated arm that extends laterally from the body and that curves to extend in a direction that is perpendicular to a plane in which the body is located, the elongated arm defining an elongated slot curved along a length of the elongated arm and
• a guide member that is mounted to the arm, wherein the guide member is adapted to guide pins or fasteners into the humeral head, and the guide member being movable along a length of the elongated slot.
