Distal femur locking plate
Polyaxial locking plate for the lateral treatment of distal femur fractures
Indications
- Distal femur fractures with participation of joint surfaces
- Periprosthetic Fractures of the distal femur
- Fractures of the femur shank
Characteristics
- Reduction of the operation time due to anatomically preformed plate design
- High primary stability due to locking cortical screws Ø 4.5 mm and cancellous screws Ø 5.5 mm
- Suited for use with cerclage belt in periprosthetic fractures – this is, however, rarely necessary since the insertion of the screws around the prosthesis stem is nearly always possible thanks to the polyaxial locking system.
- Guide wire holes for the temporary fixation of the plate
