The Non-Locked DHS 135° Plate with 12.5mm DHS Lag Screw & 4.5mm Cortical Screws Set is a classic orthopedic implant system used for the fixation of proximal femur fractures, especially intertrochanteric and subtrochanteric fracture patterns. The 135° barrel angle is anatomically designed to match the natural femoral neck-shaft alignment, ensuring accurate reduction and stable fixation.
This system works on the dynamic compression principle, where the DHS lag screw provides controlled compression across the fracture site, promoting bone contact and faster healing. The sliding mechanism allows controlled impaction during weight bearing, which enhances fracture stability over time.
The non-locked plate design allows the use of 4.5mm cortical screws for fixation along the femoral shaft, ensuring strong bicortical purchase and stable plate anchorage. This combination provides reliable mechanical strength for load-bearing long bone fractures.
The system is widely used in orthopedic trauma surgery for stable proximal femur fracture management. It is especially effective in patients requiring controlled dynamic compression and anatomical realignment.
Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the implant offers excellent strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term durability. Precision-engineered components ensure smooth screw insertion and reliable intraoperative performance.
This system is also used in veterinary orthopedic procedures for large animal femoral fracture fixation.
The set is fully sterilizable and supplied in professional surgical packaging for safe handling and efficient operating room workflow.
