The DHS (Dynamic Hip Screw) Locking Plate is designed for the internal fixation of intertrochanteric, subtrochanteric, and basal neck fractures of the femur. This locking plate system provides fixed-angle stability, combining the load-sharing benefits of a sliding hip screw with the rotational control of locking technology. The plate is available in various barrel angles ($125^{\circ}$, $130^{\circ}$, $135^{\circ}$) and hole counts to suit different fracture patterns and surgical requirements. Its robust design ensures high mechanical stability crucial for early mobilization and healing.
Key Features
-
Fixed-Angle Stability: Locking mechanism ensures fixed-angle stabilization, preventing screw cutout and maintaining reduction.
-
Load Sharing: Retains the dynamic compression capability of the traditional DHS system.
-
Variable Angle Options: Available in $125^{\circ}$, $130^{\circ}$, and $135^{\circ}$ barrel angles to accommodate anatomical variations.
-
Multiple Hole Counts: Offered in 4, 5, and 6-hole variants for customizing plate length.
-
Primary Use: Indicated for fractures of the proximal femur, including intertrochanteric fractures.
