This surgical technique applies to 7.0ChLP locked plating system used for stabilization of proximal femur fractures. The plates are a part of the ChLP locked plating system developed by ChM.The presented range of implants is made of materials in accordance with ISO 5832 standards.
The system includes:
• implants (plates and screws),
• instrument set used in the surgery,
• surgical technique.
Plate selection and shaping
The plates are available in various lengths and for left and right limb separately. This allows for optimal selection of the implant to the fracture type. Shaping of the plates in their epiphyseal part is not allowed.
Femoral periprosthetic plates are a part of 7.0ChLP system.This system includes also compatible locking screws. To facilitate their identification, both titanium plate and screws are blue anodized.
New locking hole design:
• the screws heads do not protrude above the surface of the plate what significantly reduces the irritation of periimplant tissues,
• cortical screws use possible.
• K-wire holes in shaft and epiphysis:
• facilitated plate positioning over the prosthesis
• provisional plate stabilization
Plate design:
• design aligned with anatomy of a bone
• narrowed epiphyseal part
• gentle upper edges
Hooks in epiphyseal part:
• additional stabilization of the greater trochanter.
2 version epiphyseal part:
• hook version
• subtrochanteric version
Transverse holes in the epiphyseal and shaft parts:
• for cables to attach the plate to the bone.
