Overview
The Proximal Femur GT Buttress Locking Plate 2 Hole is a specialized orthopedic implant designed for stabilizing fractures in the greater trochanter (GT) area of the proximal femur. Often used for fractures in the trochanteric region, this plate ensures optimal mechanical stability, providing superior fixation during the healing process. Crafted from high-strength titanium or stainless steel, the plate combines durability with lightweight properties, ensuring long-term support and reliability for patients.
Key Features
-
2-Hole Locking System: The 2-hole design provides secure and precise screw placement, ensuring optimal fracture fixation and reducing the risk of screw loosening or migration. This system allows for strong, stable fixation, even in challenging bone conditions such as osteoporotic bone.
-
Anatomical Contouring: The plate is specifically designed to fit the natural curvature of the proximal femur, offering an anatomical fit that helps reduce the risk of malalignment during surgery. This design ensures the best possible outcomes for fracture stabilization.
-
Buttress Design: The buttress feature of the plate helps resist compressive forces, making it highly effective in fractures that involve the greater trochanter. It provides additional support to prevent collapse and allows for optimal load distribution during healing.
-
High-Strength Materials: Made from premium-grade titanium or stainless steel, the plate is durable, resistant to corrosion, and strong enough to provide stable fixation in high-stress areas like the hip.
-
Minimally Invasive Surgical Approach: The plate design allows for a minimally invasive surgical technique, reducing soft tissue disruption and promoting a quicker recovery. The reduced surgical trauma helps lower the risk of infection and minimizes post-operative complications.
Indications for Use
-
Fractures of the greater trochanter of the proximal femur
-
Post-operative stabilization of femoral osteotomies in the trochanteric region
-
Trochanteric fractures in patients with osteoporotic bone
-
Fractures requiring buttress fixation for load-bearing support
Benefits
-
Stable Fixation: The locking system ensures rigid fixation, preventing screw loosening and plate migration even in challenging fracture scenarios like osteoporotic bone or complex fractures.
-
Faster Recovery: The anatomical design and minimally invasive approach reduce surgical trauma, helping patients recover more quickly with less pain and a lower risk of infection.
-
Reliable Support: The buttress design helps resist compressive forces, ensuring the fracture remains well-aligned during the healing process, promoting faster and more reliable healing.
