The Locking Proximal Femur (LPF) plate system is designed for long bone fractures and osteotomies in children and adolescents, and is indicated for derotational and angular osteotomies, where a bone is cut to shorten, lengthen, or change its alignment. The system’s implants and instruments are used to perform varus and valgus osteotomies for patients with varus, or bow-legged, deformities or valgus, or knock-kneed, deformities.
All plates offer the ability to insert three screws into the femoral neck and dynamically compress the osteotomy site, thereby creating a stable construct. Also, instruments and implants are cannulated to enable the surgeon to maintain control of bony fragments throughout the entire procedure.
