Proximal femoral Locking Plate-I, proximal femur locking plate-II, and 130° DHS Locking Plates were used for fixation of proximal femoral, intertrochanteric, and intertrochanteric fractures.
Proximal femoral fractures generally refer to fractures occurring between the femoral head and the femoral shaft. It mainly includes femoral tibial neck and femoral intertrochanteric fractures.
The 130° DHS locking plate was a lateral plate with 1 or 2 holes at one end, and the femoral shaft was fixed by locking screws. The other end is a sleeve structure, and the power rod and anti-rotation screw can slide up to 20 mm in the sleeve. This unique dynamic design can reduce postoperative complications such as lateral cut out of the internal fixator caused by femoral neck shortening, lateral thigh pain on the affected side, and internal fixation failure.
Features and Advantages
1. Using titanium manufacturing and advanced processing technology, titanium is more suitable as a raw material for implants because of its good biocompatibility, high hardness and good corrosion resistance.
2. Surface anodized oxidation treatment to improve the hardness, wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the locking plate.
3. Low profile design and locking screw system cause less muscle damage and tissue irritation.
4. The optimized adaptability of the proximal femur makes the placement of the plate easier, the attachment is good, the soft tissue stimulation is less, and there is no need for pre-bending during the operation, which is conducive to reducing the workload of the surgeon.
5. Angulation fixation to prevent loosening of screws in the initial reduction loss and the second reduction loss, and to allow early functional movement.
6. Limited-contact design with protection of blood supply under the plate and fast fracture healing.
7. The porous design of the condyle is convenient for fixation selection and good stability. Locking screw Angle fixation: Ensure safe fixation and rotational stability through four hollow locking screws on the head.
8. Simple and safe surgical method using Kirschner wire for initial positioning, simplifying the adjustment of the plate, reducing the damage to the bone.
In conclusion, proximal femoral locking plate type I, proximal femoral locking plate type II, and 130° DHS locking plate are beneficial orthopedic implants for the recovery of proximal femoral fractures. Their tilted, circular plate tips can be adapted for minimally invasive orthopedic implant surgery and help patients return to early mobility as soon as possible.
