Description
The Lateral Distal Femur Locking Plate 5.0 MM is specifically engineered for the fixation of distal femur fractures, offering superior strength and stability. This plate is designed for use in high-energy trauma cases, osteoporotic bone fractures, and complex fractures that involve the knee joint. Its anatomically contoured shape ensures precise fracture alignment while reducing the need for intraoperative bending, saving valuable surgical time.
Constructed from high-quality titanium or stainless steel, the plate provides long-term durability and excellent biocompatibility. The locking mechanism of the plate is ideal for osteoporotic bones and multifragmentary fractures, as the screws lock into the plate to provide secure and stable fixation without relying on bone quality alone.
This plate is ideal for Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF) procedures, where stable fixation is crucial for early mobilization and recovery.

Indications
- Distal femur fractures: Particularly useful for fractures at the lower end of the femur, near the knee joint.
- Supracondylar fractures: Effective in treating fractures just above the femoral condyles.
- Periprosthetic fractures: Used for fractures that occur around a previously implanted knee prosthesis.
- Comminuted fractures: Suitable for fractures with multiple bone fragments that require stable fixation.
- Osteoporotic bone fractures: Beneficial in patients with compromised bone quality due to conditions like osteoporosis.
- Intra-articular fractures: Offers secure fixation for fractures extending into the knee joint.
- Non-unions and mal-unions: Provides correction for fractures that have not healed properly or have failed to heal entirely.
Features
- Material: Available in titanium and stainless steel, offering strength and biocompatibility for long-term use.
- Anatomically contoured: Pre-shaped to match the natural curve of the lateral distal femur, ensuring proper fracture alignment and reducing the need for intraoperative adjustments.
- Locking mechanism: Features locking screw holes that secure the screws in place, ideal for osteoporotic or poor-quality bone.
- Combi holes: Allow the use of both locking and cortical screws, providing flexibility in fixation options.
- Screw compatibility: Accommodates 5.0 MM locking screws and 4.5 MM cortical screws.
- Low-profile design: Minimizes irritation to the surrounding soft tissues, ensuring patient comfort post-surgery.
- Biomechanical stability: Provides rigid fixation in high-stress areas like the distal femur, crucial for maintaining joint function and stability during healing.
