7 The number of additional options Smith & Nephew offers to treat proximal hip fractures

Using a plate is often optimal in cases such as comminuted proximal femur fractures, peri-prosthethic fractures and for revisions. For your worst hip fractures, this may be the best solution. The PERI-LOC^◊ Proximal Femur Locking Plate was designed for increased strength, stability and an optimum fit to patient anatomy. It is also compatible with the ACCORD^◊ Cable System.

Superior rotational stability – up to six points of proximal fixation.
Increased fatigue strength – greater thickness in the subtrochanteric region where plate failures are common⁶.
Optimized fit – handed design is anatomically contoured to fit the shaft on longer plates.
