The
Astrolabe DHS/DCS 4.5 / 5.0 mm system comprises a comprehensive range of
Dynamic Hip Screw (DHS) plates and
Dynamic Condylar Screw (DCS) plates, available in multiple lengths and configurations to address proximal and distal femoral fractures.
The
DHS plate is indicated for the treatment of:
- Pertrochanteric fractures
- Intertrochanteric fractures
- Selected subtrochanteric fractures
- Basicervical (basal neck) femoral fractures
The system allows controlled dynamic compression along the femoral neck axis while maintaining angular stability through the fixed-angle screw-plate interface.
The
DCS plate is indicated for:
- Supracondylar femoral fractures
- Distal femoral fractures
- Subtrochanteric fractures requiring fixed-angle stability
- Corrective osteotomies of the femur
Utilizing 4.5 mm cortical screws and 5.0 mm cancellous screws, the system provides stable fixation, controlled axial compression, and effective load transfer, promoting fracture stability and favorable conditions for bone healing.
Note: Astrolabe sells exclusively to distributors (not end-users). This plate is part of a complete system. Please refer to the PDF for the full set of components. Plates, screws, and instruments are not sold individually.
