Indication: The compression hip plate is primarly
indicated for inter-trochanteric fractures. However, it can be also find
applications in selected sub-trochanteric fractures, mid cervical and
low sub-capital fractures of the femoral neck. A complete range of
angled plate is available from 130º to 150º in 5º increments. They are
used in conjuction with large diameter sliding lag screws. The lag
screws have a coarse buttress thread to provide secure fixation in the
femoral head. The shaft of the lag screw is machined on two opposing
sides to correspond to the internal flats of the plate barrel preventing
rotation of the lag. The barrel of the plate is available in two
lenghts, 38 mm for normal adult use and 25 mm for smaller adult
pediatric surgery (special request). If needed, added compression can be
applied to the fractures site by means of the compression screws.
