Curved Femur Locking Compression Plate(Broad)

What is Curved Femur Locking Compression Plate(Broad)？

The aim of any surgical fracture treatment is to reconstruct the anatomy and restore its function.

According to the AO ASIF, internal fixation is distinguished by anatomic reduction, stable fixation, preservation of blood supply and early, functional mobilization. Plate and screw osteosynthesis has been established and clinically beneficial for quite some time. Clinical results have improved by using internal fixation with angular stability (internal fixators) in complicated fractures and in osteopenic bone.

* The Locking Compression Plate System has many similarities to conventional plate fixation methods, but with a few important improvements. Locking screws provide the ability to create a fixed-angle construct while utilizing familiar AO plating techniques. A fixed-angle construct provides improved fixation in osteopenic bone or multifragment fractures where traditional screw purchase is compromised.

LCP constructs do not rely on plate-to-bone compression to maintain stability, but function similarly to multiple small angled blade plates.

The following points distinguish treatment using Locking Compression Plate technology:

• Allows fracture treatment using conventional plating with conventional cortex or cancellous bone screws.

• Allows fracture treatment using locked plating with bicortical or unicortical locking screws.

• Permits the combination of conventional and locking screw techniques.

Indications

• The OrthoLimited Locking Compression Plates—Narrow and Broad, are intended for fixation of various long bones, such as the humerus, femur and tibia. They are also for use in fixation of periprosthetic fractures, osteopenic bone, and nonunions or malunions.

• The OrthoLimited Locking Compression Plates—T-Plates are intended to buttress metaphyseal fractures of the proximal humerus, medial tibial plateau and distal tibia. They are also for use in fixation of osteopenic bone and fixation of nonunions and malunions.

• The OrthoLimited LCP Proximal Tibia Plate is intended for treatment of non-unions, malunions, and fractures of the proximal tibia, including simple, comminuted, lateral wedge, depression, medial wedge, bicondylar, combinations of lateral wedge and depression, periprosthetic, and fractures with associated shaft fractures.
