LCP PLT and DF. For Proximal Lateral Tibia
and Distal Femur.
Indications
LCP Proximal Lateral Tibia (LCP PLT)
– Proximal shaft fractures
– Metaphyseal fractures
– Intra-articular fractures
– Periprosthetic fractures
LCP Distal Femur (LCP DF)
– Distal shaft fractures
– Supracondylar fractures
– Intra-articular fractures
– Periprosthetic fractures
Features and benefits
Anatomically precontoured plates
The precontoured low-profile plates reduce soft tissue problems
and eliminate the need for plate contouring.
LCP combi-holes
The LCP combi-hole permits an internal plate fixation using
standard screws, locking screws, or a combination of the two.
As a result, different intra-operative requirements can be taken
into account.
Angular stability
– Prevents screw loosening as well as primary and secondary
loss of reduction
– Allows early functional mobilisation
– As an internal fixator, the plate preserves bone vascularisation
– Improved purchase in osteoporotic bone
Guiding blocks
The guiding blocks enable easy and correct mounting of
the threaded LCP Drill Guides (323.042) in the spoon part
of the plate.
Compatible with the LCP and LISS instrumentation
The plates can be used with the Standard and LCP Large
Fragment Instruments. To apply the LISS technique, the LISS
Aiming Arm can also be used.
Surgical steps
Use the LCP PLT and DF according to AO and LCP principles;
see LCP Application Notes (036.000.019).
Implant preparation
Place the underside of the guiding block onto the spoon part of
the plate. Make sure that the three-point seat is positioned on
the precontoured points of the plate.
Insert a first LCP Drill Guide (323.042) through the guiding block
into hole X of the plate.
x
To lock the drill guide, tighten the locking nut of the guiding
block by turning it clockwise.
For further implant preparation, insert an LCP drill guide into
another proximal plate hole.
After predrilling with the 4.3 mm Drill Bit (310.430), remove
the drill guide and insert the locking screw through the guiding
block. For the fixing of the 5.0 mm locking screws, see LCP
Application Notes (036.000.019).
The threaded holes in the plate's spoon part also accept 4.5 mm
cortex screws. If desired, the cortex screws can be inserted
before mounting the guiding block.
