LCP PHP 130 in 3.5 and 5.0 mm

James Hunter, Richard Reynolds, Theddy Slongo, Reinald Brunner

The LCP PHP 130 has been developed to provide a more accurate fit in fracture cases and de-rotation osteotomies. The plate is intended for use in pediatric patients until adolescence as well as for small-stature adults. Due to the better anatomical angle, the 130° plates offer a more optimal fit compared with the current 120° plates.

The plate will accommodate proximal femoral fractures with shaft extensions to different heights 31-M/3.1 I and II, 31-M/3.2 I and II, subtrochanteric metaphyseal fractures, and derotation osteotomies.

The 3.5 mm plate is available in lengths ranging from 62-140 mm and the 5.0 mm plate in lengths ranging from 79-175 mm. It has a universal design for the left and right proximal femurs and all plates are available in sterile and non-sterile.
