DCP PROXIMAL FEMURE 5.0MM
Specification
- Plates available holes are 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16.
- Plate has cortex screws in the dynamic compression unit section for compression.
- 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.
- Plates specifically designed for left or right femurs to accommodate average femoral neck anteversion.
- Plate lengths allow spanning of the entire diaphysis in segmental fracture patterns.
- Anatomically contoured to approximate the lateral aspect of the proximal femur.
- Plates specifically designed for left or right femurs to accommodate average femoral neck anteversion.
- Available in both Titanium and Stainless steel.
- locking plate increases construct stability, decreases risk of screw back-out and subsequent loss of reduction. It also reduces the need for precise anatomic plate contouring and minimizes the risk of stripped screw holes.
Uses
Non 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.
