Product Overview
Proximal femur fractures are challenging injuries that are prone to a variety of complications. 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-LOCâ—Š 4.5mm Proximal Femur Locking Plate offers a total of six individual screw options in the proximal femur for superior 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 or disruption of blood supply.
PERI-LOCâ—Š PFP Indications
Fractures of the trochanteric region including simple intertrochanteric, reverse intertrochanteric, transverse trochanteric, complex multifragmentary and fractures with medial cortex instability.
