The Locking Proximal Femur Plate is an advanced orthopedic implant used for fixation of fractures involving the upper (proximal) femur, including intertrochanteric and subtrochanteric regions. The anatomically contoured design ensures accurate fit along the femoral anatomy, providing stable fixation and proper restoration of hip and femur alignment.
This implant is commonly used in complex proximal femur fractures, including comminuted, osteoporotic, and unstable fracture patterns where conventional fixation methods may not provide sufficient stability. It offers strong biomechanical support in a high load-bearing region, helping to maintain alignment during the healing process.
The locking compression plate (LCP) system allows locking screws to securely engage within the plate, forming a fixed-angle construct that enhances stability, reduces the risk of screw loosening, and maintains fracture reduction under physiological load conditions. This is particularly beneficial in weak or osteoporotic bone.
The low-profile anatomical design helps minimize soft tissue irritation while maintaining high mechanical strength and durability. Multiple screw options allow flexible fixation depending on fracture configuration and patient anatomy.
Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel or titanium (depending on configuration), the implant offers excellent strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term biocompatibility. Precision-engineered holes ensure accurate screw placement and reliable surgical performance.
This system is widely used in orthopedic trauma surgery and veterinary orthopedic procedures for proximal femur fracture management.
The implant is fully sterilizable and supplied in professional surgical packaging for safe handling and efficient operating room workflow.
