The Curved Femur Locking Compression Plate(Broad) is a highly specialized orthopedic implant engineered for the internal fixation of femoral shaft fractures. The femur, or thigh bone, is the longest and strongest bone in the body, requiring a robust and stable fixation solution. This plate is anatomically contoured with a subtle anterior bow to match the natural curve of the femur, simplifying surgical placement. Its broad design provides a larger surface area for load distribution, which is crucial in highly comminuted fractures. The plate features combination holes, allowing the surgeon to use standard screws for interfragmentary compression and locking screws for fixed-angle stability.

Product Description
The plate's broad design provides a larger contact area with the bone, which is essential for distributing the high loads on the femur and for providing a strong buttress in comminuted fractures.
The subtle curve of the plate is pre-contoured to match the natural anterior bow of the femur, simplifying the surgical procedure and ensuring an optimal, secure fit.
The plate features combination holes, allowing for the use of both locking screws for fixed-angle stability and standard cortex screws for achieving powerful interfragmentary compression.
Crafted from a high-quality titanium alloy, the implant offers exceptional strength, biocompatibility, and fatigue resistance to withstand the significant forces on the femur.
The plate's robust design and dual-technology features make it suitable for a wide range of fracture patterns, from simple to complex, including segmental, spiral, and comminuted fractures.
The Curved Femur Locking Compression Plate(Broad) is primarily indicated for the stable fixation of fractures of the femoral shaft, including simple, oblique, spiral, and comminuted fractures.
The plate is an excellent solution for periprosthetic fractures (fractures around an existing implant) where a broad plate is needed to bridge the fracture and secure the bone.
The implant is also suitable for the treatment of non-unions and malunions (improperly healed fractures) of the femur, providing the necessary stability for corrective procedures.

The Curved Femur Locking Compression Plate(Broad) is a cutting-edge orthopedic implant designed to treat complex fractures of the femoral shaft. Its name describes its three key features: a subtle "curved" shape that matches the natural anatomy of the femur; a "broad" design for enhanced stability and load distribution; and the ability to function as both a "locking" and a "compression" plate. This dual-technology design provides the surgeon with a powerful and flexible tool for achieving a stable fixation in a wide variety of fracture scenarios, from simple to highly comminuted fractures.
The primary application of the Curved Femur Locking Compression Plate(Broad) is for the internal fixation of femoral shaft fractures. Its broad surface and strong design make it particularly well-suited for highly comminuted fractures where a larger area of fixation is required to bridge the fracture site. It is also an excellent option for fractures in osteoporotic bone or for periprosthetic fractures, where the locking screws provide a strong purchase without relying on plate-to-bone compression. In simple oblique or transverse fractures, the compression feature can be utilized to achieve powerful interfragmentary compression, which is known to promote direct bone healing.
The Curved Femur Locking Compression Plate(Broad) offers several key advantages for treating femoral fractures. The anatomically pre-contoured curve simplifies the surgical procedure and reduces the need for intraoperative plate bending. The combination of locking and compression technologies provides unmatched versatility, allowing the surgeon to select the optimal fixation method for each specific fracture pattern. The broad design ensures superior biomechanical stability, which is essential for withstanding the high loads on the femur. This robust fixation allows for early, controlled weight-bearing, which is crucial for promoting bone healing and a faster return to function.
The biomechanics of the Curved Femur Locking Compression Plate(Broad) are centered on its ability to provide multi-modal stability. The compression screws can be used to achieve interfragmentary compression in simple fractures, which is the gold standard for promoting primary bone healing. In comminuted fractures, the locking screws are utilized to create a fixed-angle "bridge" over the fracture site. The entire plate-screw construct acts as a single, rigid unit that is highly resistant to bending, torsional, and compressive forces. The broad design ensures that these forces are distributed over a larger surface area, minimizing stress on the bone and screws, and promoting a high rate of successful union.
The implantation of the Curved Femur Locking Compression Plate(Broad) is typically performed via a standard lateral approach to the femur. After the fracture is reduced, the pre-contoured plate is positioned on the lateral surface of the bone. Using a dedicated targeting guide, the surgeon can then use a combination of standard and locking screws. Compression screws are placed first to reduce the fracture gap, followed by locking screws to create the fixed-angle construct. The procedure is designed to be highly secure and reliable, ensuring that the bone is stabilized in the correct anatomical alignment.
Following a successful Curved Femur Locking Compression Plate(Broad) fixation, a structured postoperative care plan is initiated. Due to the high stability and strength of the implant, patients are often able to begin early, controlled weight-bearing as prescribed by the surgeon. Physical therapy is a crucial component of recovery, focusing on restoring joint function and muscle strength. Regular clinical and radiographic follow-up appointments are essential to monitor fracture healing and ensure the implant remains stable throughout the recovery process.
The Curved Femur Locking Compression Plate(Broad) is a highly effective and reliable solution for the treatment of complex femoral fractures. Its innovative design, which combines an anatomical curve, broad size, and advanced locking-compression technology, provides surgeons with a powerful tool for achieving stable, customized fixation. By promoting high stability, anatomical reconstruction, and facilitating early patient mobility, the Curved Femur Locking Compression Plate(Broad) leads to excellent clinical outcomes, a faster recovery, and a restored quality of life for the patient.
The femur is a major load-bearing bone that is subjected to high forces. A broad plate provides a larger surface area for fixation, which helps to distribute the stress on the bone and is essential for providing strong stability, especially in comminuted or multi-fragment fractures.
An intramedullary nail is inserted down the central canal of the bone. This plate is applied to the outer surface. Plates are often preferred for certain fracture patterns, such as those that are highly comminuted, close to a joint, or in cases of periprosthetic fractures where a nail is not feasible.
This plate combines the best of two technologies. It can achieve powerful interfragmentary compression in simple fractures to promote direct healing, and it can also act as a fixed-angle "bridge" with locking screws in complex or comminuted fractures to provide robust stability without relying on bone quality.
Yes. The robust and stable fixation provided by this plate is specifically designed to withstand significant loads, which often allows for early, controlled weight-bearing as part of the rehabilitation process, as prescribed by the surgeon.
The plate is designed to be a permanent implant. However, it can be removed once the fracture has fully healed if the patient experiences pain or irritation from the hardware.
