LCP DHS Plate
Shaft can be fixed more easily due to the bullet nose, allowing for a minimally invasive approach. LCP Dynamic Hip Screw (DHS) is an advanced modification of existing DHS that provides better angular stable fixation with the bone as it has a new combination of holes in the shaft. The surgical technique is same as DHS, however, bullet nose at the distal end allows for an easier MIPO technique.
Specification
- Facilitated fixation on the shaft allows for a minimally invasive approach.
- LCP combi-holes
- Tapered end
- Undercuts
- Barrel angle is 120°–140°
- Available size 3 holes to 20 holes
- Available in material of Stainless Steel & Titanium
- Barrel length is standard and short
- Fixation with locking screws 5.0 mm
Indications
The DHS, pertrochanteric and intertrochanteric fractures of type 31-A in the AO Classification, and femoral neck fractures of type 31-B, in conjunction with the application of an antirotation screw, all fall under the same general criteria.
Contraindications
- For Subtrochanteric fractures, a 95º DCS plate or the intramedullary nail PFNA Long is recommended.
- When there is a high incidence of sepsis, malignant primary or metastatic tumours, material sensitivity, or poor vascularity, the DHS should not be employed.
