Locking Trochanter Stabilization Plate
The Locking Trochanter Stabilization Plate is intended for the treatment of unstable pertrochanteric fractures in combination with the Dynamic Hip Screw (DHS), especially for 4-part fractures with greater trochanter.
Using the plate limits the possibility of varus deformation of the proximal fragment by cutting out the screws and medialization of the distal femoral fragment, without impairing the function and dynamization capacity of the DHS. The Locking Trochanter Stabilization Plate limits diaphyseal medialization by fastening onto the greater trochanter relief. The additional proximal internal fixaton can be achieved by using 3.5 mm locking head screws.
Cerclage is still possible.
