Factors such as rotational instability, the presence of varied fracture patterns and complex deforming forces, and the frequent association of these fractures with comminution and/or poor bone quality require dedicated implants for optimal fracture fixation. The PERI-LOC™ PFP 4.5mm Proximal Femur Locking Plate offers a total of six individual screw options in the proximal femur for stability and intraoperative versatility. An anatomically bowed shaft maximizes plate-to-bone coverage extending down the shaft of the femur for an optimal anatomic implant fit. The minimally invasive procedure is facilitated by a radiolucent targeting system designed to reduce the potential for soft tissue damage.
The PERI-LOC Locked Plating System combines the advantages of locked plating with the flexibility and benefits of traditional plates and screws. Utilizing both locking and non-locking screws, the PERI-LOC system allows for the creation of a fixed-angle construct capable of resisting angular collapse and rotational displacement. Its enhanced stability also allows it to function as an effective fracture reduction aid. A simple, intuitive instrument set featuring standardized drill bits and screwdrivers along with color-coded drill guides helps make the PERI-LOC system efficient and easy to use. With its multiple points of fixation and anatomic plate design, the PERI-LOC 4.5mm Proximal Femur Locking Plate (PFP) is geared towards fixation of challenging proximal femur fractures.
