Plaque Sherman 4,5 mm

Indication: Anatomical distal femur bone plates are designed to be used for reducing fractures of the distal femur with or without involvement of the joint. The anatomical bone plate features show the following important factors to osteosynthesis as; permit a stable fixation of the small proximal and distal fragments. They consider the various physiological stability factors of distal spongiosa and meta-to diaphyseal fractures. They are curved and twisted to conform to the nature shape of the proximal and distal bones areas. They simplify reduction in case of extended fractures as their anterior surface is contoured to minimize tissue irritation.

Screws to be used: Head of plate accept 6.5 mm cancellous screws. Plate shaft accepts 4.5 mm cortical screws. The screw holes into distal and are placed so as to allow cancellous screw to be placed in different directions. Two small holes at the very end of the plate are for temporary fixation with kirschner wires. An oval hole in the proximal part of the plate permit fixation with an excentrically or medially placed cortical screw while allowing enough room for application of a compression device.

Plate details:The shape of distal femur bone plate is particularly well suited for accommodating the ventral convex curve of the normal femur, as well as its specific twisting. The plate thickness is reduced towards the distal direction in accordance with the different stability relationship of diaphysis to meta-physis. The pre-formed shape of the plate requires that a separate plate to be used for rigth and left femur.
