Our DCS Plate (Dynamic Condylar Screw Plate) is a specialized, maximum-strength orthopedic implant engineered specifically for the rigid internal fixation of difficult fractures at either extreme end of the femur. Featuring a fixed barrel-to-plate angle of $95^\circ$, this heavy-duty plate provides an exceptionally stable sliding construct. It is a premier clinical choice for managing complex supracondylar and intercondylar fractures of the distal femur, as well as high-stress subtrochanteric fractures of the proximal femur.
Crafted from premium medical-grade, highly electropolished Surgical Stainless Steel 316L or Titanium Alloy, the plate features a precision-machined barrel designed to accept a standard large fragment lag screw. The perpendicular $95^\circ$ orientation allows the lag screw to be inserted parallel to the knee joint line or femoral neck axis, facilitating controlled dynamic compression across the fracture line while the robust plate shaft secures the diaphysis.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Precision $95^\circ$ Angled Barrel: Specially oriented to allow parallel screw insertion relative to the joint line, making it perfect for distal femoral condyles or proximal subtrochanteric zones.
-
Controlled Interfragmentary Compression: The ultra-smooth internal barrel profile enables seamless telescoping of the lag screw, achieving dynamic axial compression under physiological load to accelerate bone healing.
-
Dynamic Compression Shaft Holes: The plate shaft features low-profile, elongated slots that accommodate standard 4.5mm cortical screws, allowing excellent plate-to-bone compression and customizable screw placement.
-
Reinforced Structural Elbow: Engineered with extra material thickness at the high-stress plate-to-barrel junction to provide maximum resistance against extreme bending and torsional forces.
-
Anatomically Low-Profile Design: Smoothly rounded edges, a contoured shaft, and a high-mirror electropolished finish minimize soft-tissue friction, reduce hardware palpability, and lower the risk of bacterial adherence.
