The LCP Pediatric Hip Plate is intended for use in pediatrics and for small stature adult patients. Indications include intertrochanteric varus and valgus osteotomies, derotation osteotomies, combined intertrochanteric correction osteotomies, as well as femoral neck and pertrochanteric fractures.

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.
