5.0mm LCP Pediatric Hip Plate | Proximal Femoral Osteotomy System for Adolescents & DDH Correction

High-Strength 5.0mm LCP Pediatric Hip Plate for Adolescent Orthopedics

At OrthoPro, we recognize that as pediatric patients grow into adolescence, the mechanical demands on orthopedic implants increase significantly. Our **5.0mm LCP Pediatric Hip Plate** is a heavy-duty locking compression system designed specifically to bridge the gap between pediatric and adult osteosynthesis. It offers the structural integrity required for larger skeletal structures while maintaining the anatomical precision needed for complex hip surgeries.

Product Overview and Design Philosophy

The **5.0mm LCP Pediatric Hip Plate** represents the evolution of stable fixation for the proximal femur. Unlike standard compression plates, this system utilizes Locking Compression Plate (LCP) technology. This dual-function design allows surgeons to achieve compression using standard cortical screws or establish a fixed-angle construct using locking screws. This flexibility is paramount when treating adolescents with varying bone densities or when bridging comminuted fracture zones.

This implant is specifically engineered to resist the high bending forces exerted on the hip joint during the recovery phase. By providing a stable, fixed-angle construct, the 5.0mm system minimizes the risk of implant failure, screw back-out, and loss of reduction, ensuring that the corrected neck-shaft angle is maintained throughout the healing process.

Clinical Indications and Surgical Applications

The **5.0mm LCP Pediatric Hip Plate** is indicated for a wide range of reconstructive and trauma procedures in older children and adolescents (typically ages 8-16, depending on patient size). Key indications include:

• Proximal Femoral Osteotomies (PFO): Used for the correction of congenital or acquired deformities such as Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH), Coxa Vara, and Coxa Valga.
• Derotation Osteotomies: Correcting excessive femoral anteversion that affects gait and joint mechanics.
• Fracture Management: Stabilization of femoral neck fractures, pertrochanteric fractures, and subtrochanteric fractures in the adolescent population.
• Non-unions and Malunions: Revision surgery for failed previous fixations requiring a more robust implant.

Key Features and Biomechanical Advantages

1. Superior Angular Stability:
The proximal end of the plate is designed to accept multiple 5.0mm locking screws. These screws thread into the plate, creating a coherent frame that does not rely solely on friction between the plate and the bone. This is critical for osteotomies where stability is needed to prevent collapse at the osteotomy site.

2. Anatomical Contouring:
The plates are pre-contoured to match the anatomy of the adolescent proximal femur. This reduces the need for intraoperative bending, which saves surgical time and prevents metal fatigue. The design features a specific offset to minimize soft tissue impingement.

3. Versatile Combi-Holes:
The distal shaft of the plate features Combi-holes that accept both locking screws (for stability) and cortical screws (for compression). This hybrid capability allows the surgeon to tailor the fixation strategy to the specific fracture pattern or osteotomy type.

4. Range of Angles:
To accommodate different corrective needs, the plates are available in various neck-shaft angles (typically 100°, 110°, 120°), allowing for precise restoration of hip biomechanics.

Material Specifications

To ensure long-term safety and performance, OrthoPro manufactures these plates using premium medical-grade materials that meet international ISO and ASTM standards:

• Titanium Alloy (Ti-6Al-4V): The preferred material for its high strength-to-weight ratio, excellent biocompatibility, and MRI compatibility. Its modulus of elasticity is closer to bone, promoting better load sharing.
• Stainless Steel (316LVM): Available for markets or specific cases requiring the maximum rigidity and cost-effectiveness of steel.
