Distal Femoral Lateral Locking Plate

Specification

Description

The Distal Femoral Lateral Locking Plate is an anatomically pre-contoured titanium alloy implant designed for the fixation of fractures in the distal femur. It is applied on the lateral side of the femur and is engineered to match the natural anatomy of the distal femoral condyle region, ensuring stable fixation and improved surgical fit.
This locking plate system works with locking screws to create an angular stable construct, which is particularly beneficial in complex distal femur fractures, including intra-articular and comminuted patterns. Its design supports both mechanical stability and biological healing principles in trauma reconstruction.

Advantages

Titanium alloy construction: Provides high biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, and reliable mechanical strength
Anatomical lateral design: Pre-contoured to match distal femur anatomy, reducing intraoperative bending and improving fit
Locking fixation technology: Offers angular stability for enhanced fixation in unstable fracture patterns
Stable support for complex fractures: Effective in intra-articular and comminuted distal femoral fractures
Optimized screw placement options: Multiple locking hole configurations for flexible fixation strategies
Supports early mobilization strategy: Provides stable construct suitable for post-operative rehabilitation protocols (as per surgeon decision)

Application

Distal femur fractures (extra-articular and intra-articular)
Supracondylar femur fractures
Peri-prosthetic distal femur fractures (around knee arthroplasty)
Comminuted femoral condyle fractures
Osteoporotic distal femur fractures requiring angular stability
ORIF (Open Reduction and Internal Fixation) in trauma surgery

FAQ

Q1: What makes this plate suitable for distal femur fractures?
A1: It is anatomically shaped for the lateral distal femur and provides locking screw fixation for stable angular support in complex fracture patterns.
Q2: Is this implant made of titanium alloy?
A2: Yes. It is manufactured from medical-grade titanium alloy, offering strength, biocompatibility, and long-term reliability.
Q3: Can it be used in peri-prosthetic fractures?
A3: Yes. It is commonly used in distal femur fractures around knee prostheses, depending on fracture pattern and surgeon evaluation.
