Twin Lock BCP LEXA Proximal Femoral Plate
The Proximal Femoral Plate is intended for fractures of the femur including:
- Fractures of the trochanteric region, trochanteric simple, trochanteric diaphyseal, multifragmentary pertrochanteric, intertrochanteric reversed or transverse or with additional fracture of the medial cortex
- Fractures of the proximal end of the femur combined with ipsilateral shaft fractures
- Metastatic fracture of the proximal femur
- Osteotomies of the proximal femur
- Fixation of osteopenic bone as well as nonunions or malunions
- The use of locking screws provides an angularly stable construct independent of bone quality
- The most proximal screw hole accepts a 7.3 mm cannulated locking screw, oriented at 95° to the plate shaft
- Anatomically contoured to proximate the lateral aspect of the proximal femur
- Limited-contact Type Platinum & Stainless steel plate
- The Second proximal screw hole accepts a 7.3 mm cannulated locking screw oriented at 120° to the plate shaft
- The third proximal screw hole accepts a 5.0 mm locking screw oriented at 135° to the plate shaft
- The Combi holes in the plate shaft accept 5.0 mm locking screws in the threaded portion or 4.5 mm cortical screws in the DCU portion. This provides the surgeon with the flexibility to achieve plate-to-bone apposition as well as axial compression or angular stability
