Multi-Axial Femoral Distal Locking Plate

Key features and benefits of the Multi-Axial Femoral Distal Locking Plate

• Enhanced Stability and Fixation: The plate’s unique design allows for multi-directional angular control, ensuring optimal fracture reduction and minimizing the risk of displacement. This promotes faster and more predictable bone healing.
• Minimally Invasive Approach: Designed for minimally invasive surgical procedures, the plate reduces damage to surrounding soft tissues. This translates to faster patient recovery, reduced post-operative pain, and improved long-term function.
• Biocompatible Materials: Manufactured from high-quality, biocompatible materials, the plate minimizes the risk of allergic reactions and implant rejection, promoting long-term implant stability and patient comfort.
• Streamlined Surgical Workflow: The plate’s design facilitates efficient application and adjustment during surgery. Easy-to-use locking mechanisms and a comprehensive instrumentation set allow surgeons to focus on the critical aspects of the procedure.

Indications for the Multi-Axial Femoral Distal Locking Plate

The Multi-Axial Femoral Distal Locking Plate is a versatile implant designed to address a wide range of distal femoral fractures. Its ability to provide multi-directional angular control and stable fixation makes it ideal for the following applications:

• Simple and Comminuted Fractures: The plate effectively stabilizes both simple fractures with clean breaks and more complex comminuted fractures with multiple bone fragments.
• Periprosthetic Fractures: This plate is suitable for periprosthetic fractures that occur around a prosthetic knee joint. Its design allows for secure fixation near the implant while minimizing stress on the prosthesis.
• Osteoporotic Fractures: For patients with weakened bones due to osteoporosis, the Multi-Axial Femoral Distal Locking Plate offers secure fixation with minimal screw pullout risk.
• Open Fractures: In cases of open fractures with exposed bone, the plate’s minimally invasive design minimizes further soft tissue disruption, promoting faster healing and reducing the risk of infection.
• Revision Surgeries: The plate’s versatility allows for its use in revision surgeries where previous fixation attempts may have failed.

How Does a Multi-Axial Femoral Distal Locking Plate Work?

The Multi-Axial Femoral Distal Locking Plate offers a unique approach to stabilizing distal femoral fractures. Here’s a breakdown of its functionality:

Precise Fracture Reduction:

Surgeons utilize the plate’s multiple screw holes and innovative locking mechanisms to achieve optimal alignment and reduction of the fractured bone fragments. This multi-directional control ensures precise positioning for optimal healing.

Stable Fixation:

Once the fracture reduction is achieved, locking screws are secured within the plate’s dedicated slots. This creates a robust and stable construct that minimizes the risk of fracture displacement during the healing process.

Minimally Invasive Approach:

The plate’s design facilitates a minimally invasive surgical technique. Surgeons can utilize smaller incisions to access the fracture site and implant the plate. This reduces damage to surrounding soft tissues and blood vessels, leading to faster patient recovery and less post-operative pain.

Biocompatible Materials:

The plate is constructed from high-quality biocompatible materials that are well-tolerated by the body. This minimizes the risk of allergic reactions and implant rejection, allowing the bone to heal undisturbed.
