D.H.S plate

Our DHS Side Plate (Dynamic Hip Screw Barrel Plate) is a specialized, load-bearing orthopedic implant engineered for the stable internal fixation of proximal femoral fractures. Designed to work in perfect synchronization with a standard DHS lag screw and compression screw, this heavy-duty plate provides a secure, sliding structural frame. It is the gold standard clinical choice for treating intertrochanteric, subtrochanteric, and basilar femoral neck fractures.

Crafted from medical-grade, highly electropolished Surgical Stainless Steel 316L or Premium Titanium Alloy, the plate features an integrated, precision-machined barrel angled at a standard 135∘ (also available in custom angles like 130∘, 140∘, or 145∘). The ultra-smooth inner geometry of the barrel allows a lag screw to glide seamlessly under body weight, promoting safe, controlled collapse at the fracture line to stimulate natural bone healing.

Key Features & Benefits

• Precision-Machined Sliding Barrel: The smooth inner lumen facilitates seamless, non-binding telescoping of the lag screw, enabling controlled dynamic axial compression under early weight-bearing.

• Dynamic Compression Shaft Holes: Low-profile, smooth-sloped compression slots accept standard 4.5mm cortical screws, allowing excellent plate-to-bone axial compression along the femoral shaft.

• Optimized Plate-to-Barrel Junction: The reinforced collar neck is engineered with extra thickness to withstand intense bending and torsional stresses inherent to the proximal femur hip joint.

• Low-Profile Anatomical Fit: Rounded outer borders and a slim profile lower hardware palpability under muscle layers, minimizing post-operative irritation to the vastus lateralis.

• Mirror-Polished Finish: Advanced electropolishing provides maximum biocompatibility, reduces soft-tissue friction, and lowers the risk of bacterial adherence.
