The PERI-LOC^◊ Periarticular Locked Plating System from Smith & Nephew, Inc. offers the advantages of locked plating with the flexibility and benefits of traditional plating in one system. Utilizing both locking and non-locking screws, PERI-LOC^◊ offers a construct that resists angular (e.g. varus/valgus) collapse while simultaneously acting as an effective aid to fracture reduction. A simple and straightforward instrument set features one screwdriver, standardized drill bits, and colorcoded instrumentation, making PERI-LOC^◊ efficient and easy to use.

All PERI-LOC^◊ implants are manufactured using the highest quality 316L stainless steel for strength and durability.

The anatomical bow and precontour of the 4.5mm Distal Femur Locking Plate provides an excellent fit against the surface of the bone. Condylar scallops on the distal end of the plate allow easy placement of lag screws outside the plate for fixation of articular fractures. Each screw hole will accept one of four different screws allowing you to customize the screw configuration depending on the individual needs of the fracture.
