Locking Dynamic Hip Screw (DHS) Plate

Our Locking Dynamic Hip Screw (DHS) Plate is a premier orthopedic implant engineered for the stable internal fixation of proximal femoral fractures, specifically intertrochanteric, subtrochanteric, and basilar neck fractures. This advanced system combines the time-tested sliding compression mechanics of a classic DHS with modern locking plate technology, providing unparalleled angular stability in osteoporotic or highly comminuted bone.

Crafted from medical-grade, highly electropolished Surgical Stainless Steel 316L or Titanium Alloy, the plate features a heavy-duty barrel angled to seamlessly guide the primary lag screw into the femoral neck. The shaft incorporates advanced combi-holes (locking/compression combination holes), giving surgeons the intraoperative flexibility to achieve rigid angular stability using locking screws, standard dynamic compression, or a combination of both.

Key Features & Benefits

• Advanced Hybrid Fixation (Combi-Holes): Symmetrical combination holes accept locking screws for absolute angular stability or standard cortical screws for dynamic axial compression.

• Superior Angular Stability: The locking screw-to-plate interface acts as a fixed-angle construct, drastically reducing the risk of screw back-out, plate lifting, or varus collapse—especially in osteopenic bone.

• Precision-Engineered Barrel: Heavy-duty, smooth-bore barrel ensures seamless telescoping and controlled dynamic collapse of the primary lag screw to facilitate biological bone healing.

• Anatomically Tapered Profile: Designed with a low-profile shaft and rounded outer margins to minimize friction against the vastus lateralis muscle and surrounding soft tissues.

• Premium Biocompatible Materials: High-mirror electropolishing limits bacterial adherence and ensures optimal structural integration with minimal tissue irritation.
