130° DHS PLATE SHORT BARREL (D.C. HOLE)
DYNAMIC HIP SCREW PLATE: The Dynamic Hip Screw Plate is designed to provide strong and stable internal fixation of a variety of intertrochanteric, subtrochanteric and basilar neck fractures, with minimal soft tissue irritation.
Specification
- Plates are made of 316L stainless steel and Titanium.
- The Dynamic Hip Screw Plate are available in a wide range of sizes (3 to 16 holes) and barrel angles (130 degree, 135 degree, 140 degree, 145 degree), with 38 mm (standard) or 25 mm (short) barrels, for varied clinical situations.
- The number of screw holes per plate length is maximized, without compromising plate strength. This allows an increased number of fixation points with a smaller incision.
- Dynamic compression plate holes in the Plate side plate allow angulation of 4.5 mm cortex screws, for lag screw fixation of medial fragments, and allow axial compression and multiple-screw fixation of the main fragment in subtrochanteric fractures with shaft extension.
- The Dynamic Hip Screw Plate lag screw, available from 50 mm to 150 mm lengths, easily glides within the plate barrel for controlled collapse and impaction of fragments. When the fracture requires additional intraoperative compression, the Dynamic Hip Screw Plate compression screw can be used; only one size compression screw is needed.
- Two flats within the plate barrel correspond to the two-flat design of the Dynamic Hip Screw Plate lag screw, preventing rotation of the lag screw within the barrel. The two-flat design also eases insertion of the plate over the lag screw.
- This Plate has a low-profile design, reducing the risk of trochanteric bursitis.
Uses
The Dynamic Hip Screw Plate is indicated for the following fractures of the proximal femur:
- Pertrochanteric fractures of type A1 and A2
- Intertrochanteric fractures of type A3
- Basilar neck fractures B1, B2, B3
- Subtrochanteric fractures
The Dynamic Hip Screw Plate is indicated for stable fractures, and unstable fractures in which a stable medial buttress can be reconstructed. Plate provides controlled collapse and compression of fracture fragments. This results in stable fixation and prevents undue stress concentration on the implant.
