The Distal Femur Locking Plate 4.5 / 5.0mm L/R (4–7 Holes) is an advanced orthopedic fixation system used for the treatment of fractures involving the lower end of the femur near the knee joint. It is anatomically pre-contoured for left and right sides, ensuring precise fit along the natural anatomy of the distal femur for optimal alignment and stability.
This plate is specifically designed for complex distal femur fractures, including intra-articular, supracondylar, and comminuted fracture patterns. It provides strong biomechanical support in load-bearing conditions and helps restore proper knee joint alignment.
The locking compression plate (LCP) system allows 4.5mm or 5.0mm locking screws to securely engage within the plate, forming a fixed-angle construct that enhances stability, maintains reduction, and reduces the risk of screw loosening or implant failure during healing.
The plate includes multiple screw hole configurations (4 to 7 holes) to allow flexibility in fixation based on fracture type, bone quality, and patient anatomy. The low-profile design helps minimize soft tissue irritation while maintaining high mechanical strength.
Manufactured from premium surgical-grade titanium or stainless steel (depending on configuration), the implant offers excellent durability, corrosion resistance, and long-term biocompatibility. Precision-engineered screw holes ensure accurate placement and consistent surgical performance.
This system is widely used in orthopedic trauma surgery and veterinary orthopedic procedures for distal femur fracture management.
The set is fully sterilizable and supplied in professional surgical packaging for safe handling and efficient operating room workflow.
