Properties

• Risks such as varus angulation and limb shortening are prevented by fixation of the greater trochanter using locking screws.
• Through stabilizing the greater trochanter, the amount of internal bleeding is reduced and the function of the gluteus medius muscle is regained.
• While fewer pain complaints are reported in the postoperative period, it is ensured that the patients are mobilized earlier.
• It can be combined with the lag screw, thanks to the screw hole designed for the DHS Lag Screw.
• The proximal part can be bent and shaped according to need.
• It has a 4.5 mm cortical screw hole for fixation from the DHS plate to the femur.
• 2 screw-hole arms can be cut with a plate cutter in the proximal part.
• It has a proximal screw hole with an anti-rotation feature for Cannulated Screw.
• The second proximal hole functions as a window and allows pre-fixation of the DHS plate to the femur.

Indications

• In multi-part, unstable A2 and A3 type fractures accompanied by a fracture of the greater trochanter,
• Stable and unstable fractures of the proximal femur;
• Intertrochanteric,
• Subtrochanteric,
• Pertrochanteric,
• Basilar neck fractures.
