LCP Proximal Femoral Plate (PFP)

Q&A

Q1:What is an LCP Proximal Femoral Plate?

A1:It is a Locking Compression Plate (LCP) specifically designed for fixation of fractures in the proximal femur, such as intertrochanteric, subtrochanteric, and neck fractures. It provides both angular stability and anatomical contouring.

Q2:What sizes and configurations are available?

A2:LCP PFPs are available in 2.7/3.5/4.5 screw system,100°/110°/120°/130°/140°angle,different lengths (2 қарай 7 holes) and left/right anatomical versions to accommodate patient anatomy and fracture type.

Q3:How is the plate anatomically designed?

A3:The plate has a pre-contoured shape that matches the proximal femur anatomy, with angled screw holes directed toward the femoral head for secure fixation and load sharing.

Q4:What materials are commonly used for the LCP PFP?

A4:It is typically made from medical-grade titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) or stainless steel (316L) for strength, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility.

Q5.:What types of screws are used with the plate?

A5:The system includes locking screws, cortical screws, and cancellous screws, depending on the bone region and fixation requirements.

Q6:What is the surgical approach for implanting this plate?

A6:The plate is usually applied through a lateral approach to the femur, under fluoroscopic guidance, ensuring accurate reduction and alignment.
