Product Explanation
The Locking Proximal Femoral Plate Type 2, 5.0 mm is an orthopedic fixation plate intended to form part of a compatible internal fixation construct involving the proximal femur.
A simplified fixation concept can be represented as:
Proximal Femur → Type 2 Locking Proximal Femoral Plate → Compatible Fixation Screws → Internal Fixation Construct
The plate is specifically identified as:
Type 2
within the proximal femoral plate family.
The supplied image shows a broadened proximal fixation region connected to an elongated shaft.
The plate is selected and positioned according to the anatomical side, proximal femur anatomy, fracture configuration, required fixation construct, plate geometry, plate length, surgical plan, approved surgical technique, and Instructions for Use.
According to the supplied product information, the plate is available in:
Left / Right
configurations.
The shaft is available with:
2 / 4 / 6 / 8 / 10 / 12 / 14 / 16 Shaft Holes
providing multiple configurations within the Type 2 product family.
Product Components and Design
- Type 2 Proximal Femoral Plate Body
The implant consists of a metallic fixation plate with a widened proximal section and an elongated longitudinal shaft.
The product is specifically identified as:
Locking Proximal Femoral Plate Type 2
according to the supplied product designation.
The exact characteristics that distinguish Type 2 from another proximal femoral plate type are not defined in the supplied image and should be confirmed from the manufacturer’s technical documentation.
- Proximal Fixation Section
The proximal end of the plate is visibly broadened and contains multiple fixation openings.
However, the supplied product table states:
Head Holes: –
Therefore, no numerical head-hole count is officially specified.
The exact number, classification, compatible screw diameter, locking characteristics, and screw trajectories of the proximal openings should be confirmed from the official technical documentation rather than inferred solely from the image.
- Type 2 Proximal Geometry
The supplied image shows a distinctive widened proximal plate region containing several fixation openings arranged across the proximal portion.
This geometry differs visually from a simple straight plate and forms part of the product’s Type 2 configuration.
The exact proximal width, contour, angle, offset, screw orientation, and anatomical relationship are not provided in the supplied image.
- Shaft Section
According to the supplied product information, the plate is available with:
2 Shaft Holes
4 Shaft Holes
6 Shaft Holes
8 Shaft Holes
10 Shaft Holes
12 Shaft Holes
14 Shaft Holes
16 Shaft Holes
This provides eight listed shaft-hole configurations within the product family.
The exact physical plate length corresponding to each shaft-hole configuration is not supplied.
- Multiple Fixation Openings
The supplied product image visually shows multiple fixation openings distributed across both the proximal section and the shaft.
These include:
- Multiple proximal fixation openings.
- Circular shaft openings.
- Smaller fixation openings visible along the plate.
- Multiple longitudinal fixation positions.
The exact technical role of each opening—such as locking fixation, conventional fixation, compression, positioning, or another function—is not specified in the supplied product information and should be confirmed from the approved surgical technique.
- Left and Right Configurations
According to the supplied product data, the plate is available in:
Left / Right
versions.
This supports side-specific implant selection according to the proximal femur being treated.
The exact geometric differences between the Left and Right versions should be confirmed from the manufacturer’s engineering drawings.
- Material Options
According to the supplied product information, the plate is available in:
SS316L
and
Titanium
The exact Titanium alloy or grade is not specified in the supplied image and should be confirmed from the manufacturer’s official material specification.
Intended Use
The Locking Proximal Femoral Plate Type 2, 5.0 mm is designed for use as part of a compatible orthopedic fixation system involving the proximal femur, according to the approved indications, surgical technique, and Instructions for Use.
Potential applications may involve internal fixation of the proximal femur where this Type 2 plate configuration is included within the manufacturer’s approved indications.
The exact fracture patterns, fracture classifications, anatomical indications, fixation strategy, surgical approach, contraindications, and patient-selection criteria should be confirmed from the official product documentation.
Plate selection may depend on factors including:
- Anatomical side.
- Proximal femur anatomy.
- Fracture location and configuration.
- Required proximal fixation pattern.
- Required Type 2 plate geometry.
- Required fixation construct.
- Required shaft-hole configuration.
- Required plate length.
- Bone dimensions.
- Bone quality.
- Compatible screw selection.
- Proximal screw trajectory requirements.
- Compatible instrumentation.
- Surgical approach.
- Preoperative planning.
- Intraoperative assessment.
The implant should be selected and implanted by a qualified orthopedic surgeon in accordance with the approved surgical technique and Instructions for Use.
Key Benefits
Type 2 Proximal Femoral Configuration
The product is specifically identified as:
Locking Proximal Femoral Plate Type 2
providing a distinct proximal plate configuration within a compatible femoral fixation system.
The exact technical differences between Type 2 and other proximal femoral plate variants should be confirmed from the manufacturer’s documentation.
Left and Right Anatomical Options
The plate is available in:
Left / Right
configurations, supporting side-specific implant selection.
Eight Shaft-Hole Configurations
The product family includes:
2 / 4 / 6 / 8 / 10 / 12 / 14 / 16 Shaft Holes
providing eight plate configurations.
This supports selection among different plate variants according to the required fixation construct and surgical planning.
5.0 mm Fixation System
The product is identified as:
Locking Proximal Femoral Plate Type 2, 5.0 mm
indicating its association with a compatible 5.0 mm orthopedic fixation system.
The exact compatible screw type and whether every visible opening accepts a 5.0 mm screw should be confirmed from the manufacturer’s technical documentation.
Two Material Options
According to the supplied product data, the plate is available in:
SS316L
and
Titanium
Broad Plate-Length Range
The available shaft-hole options:
2 → 4 → 6 → 8 → 10 → 12 → 14 → 16
indicate multiple possible plate-length variants.
The exact physical lengths corresponding to these configurations are not supplied and should be confirmed from the manufacturer’s dimensional specifications.
Multiple Product Variants
Based strictly on the supplied product information, the family includes:
- 2 alignment options: Left / Right
- 1 plate variant: Type 2
- No numerical head-hole configuration specified
- 8 shaft-hole options: 2 / 4 / 6 / 8 / 10 / 12 / 14 / 16
- 2 material options: SS316L / Titanium
If every shaft-hole configuration is available in both alignments and both materials, this could represent up to 32 basic alignment × shaft × material combinations.
However, the supplied image does not provide the complete commercial configuration matrix. The exact number of available variants should therefore be confirmed from the official Cat. No. table.
