Periprosthetic proximal femoral hook locking plate I - Placa LCP de gancho para fémur proximal I
For periprosthetic femoral fracture, proximal femoral fracture around HIP prosthesis, femoral revision surgery, or HIP revision surgery.
The proximal femoral hook plate is a medical device used in orthopedic surgery, specifically for fractures of the proximal femur (the upper part of the thigh bone). This type of fracture is common, particularly in older individuals, and can result from trauma, such as a fall. The goal of surgical intervention in these cases is to stabilize the fracture and promote proper healing.
The proximal femoral hook plate consists of a metallic plate with specialized hooks or tabs designed to grip the bone securely. The plate is attached to the femur using screws or other fixation methods, providing stability to the fractured bone. This type of implant can be particularly useful in cases where traditional fixation methods (such as intramedullary nails) may not be suitable due to the fracture pattern or patient factors.
Features
Anatomic design & Low profile
• Anatomically precontoured
– Plates are precontoured for anatomical fit.
– Notches in the plate shaft to allow the plate to be shaped to the individual anatomy of the bone.
Indications
• The plate is indicated forperi-prosthetic femoral fracture, femoral proximal fracture stable surgery, or to assist HIP replacement surgery.
