Femur locking plate “TROCHANTUS”

Indications 

• Isolated avulsion injury to the trochanter major in the context of trauma or endoprothetics 

• Periprosthetic fractures of the proximal femur 


Characteristics 

• Anatomically preformed plate design, encompassing the surface of the trochanter major and tuberculum innominatum in order to prevent iliotibial tract

• Ventral and dorsal plate flange acts to prevent injury to the gluteus medius muscle insertion

• High primary stability by way of polyaxial locking cortex screws of 4.5 mm or 5.5 mm (optional) in diameter
• Secures all fragments by way of polyaxial angular-stable locking options regardless of the form of the trochanter fracture 
• Simplifies placement of freely pivotable set screws along the prosthesis
