5.0MM LCP PEDIATRIC HIP PLATE
5 mm Locking Pediatric Hip Plates cover treatment options for stable fixation of varus and valgus as well as rotation osteotomies and fracture treatment of the proximal femur. 5 mm Locking Pediatric Hip Plates have a universal design for the left and right femur. Plate has three neck screws in the proximal part and combi-holes for locking or cortical screws in the distal part. Pediatric Hip Plates have the following main characteristics ensuring excellent fixation in the bone:
Specification
- Plates available holes are 3 hole in 100°, 3 hole in 110°, 4 hole in 120°, 3, 5, 7 hole in 130° and 3 hole in 150°.
- Plate has combi holes and round holes. Combi holes allow fixation with locking screws in the threaded section and cortex screws in the dynamic compression unit section for compression.
- 5 mm Locking Pediatric Hip Plates allow implant placement to address the individual fracture pattern.
- Limited-contact surface reduces bone-to-plate contact and helps to preserve the periosteal blood supply.
- Choice of different lengths of plate eliminates the need to cut plates.
- Pre-contoured plate to match anatomical shape.
- Available in both Titanium and Stainless steel.
- Angular stability – Reduces the risk of primary and secondary loss of correction. Due to the angular stability, a hip spica is no longer necessary in the majority of older cases.
Uses
5 mm Locking Pediatric Hip Plates are indicated for fixation of fractures (including pathologic and impending pathologic fractures) and osteotomies of the femur in infants, children, adolescents and small statured adults.
Specific indications for plates include:
- Varus, valgus, rotational and/or shortening osteotomies.
- Femoral neck and/or pertrochanteric fractures.
- Proximal metaphyseal fractures.
- Diaphyseal fractures.
- Pathologic fractures.
- Prophylactic use for impending pathologic fractures.
Uses
4.5/5 mm Locking Proximal Femoral Plate is intended for fractures of the femur including:
- Fractures of the trochanteric region, trochanteric simple, trochanterodiaphyseal, multifragmentary pertrochanteric, intertrochanteric reversed or transverse or with additional fracture of the medial cortex.
- Fractures of the proximal end of the femur combined with ipsilateral shaft fractures.
- Metastatic fracture of the proximal femur.
- Osteotomies of the proximal femur.
- Plate also for use in fixation of osteopenic bone and fixation of nonunions or malunions.
