Contraindications Absolute: • Health condition precluding surgery. • Allergic reactions to the metal from which the implant is made. • Active infection. Relative: • Weakened bone (by disease, infection or prior implantation) making it impossible to install/stabilize the implant properly. • Abnormal perfusion of fracture area or surgical site. • Excessive obesity. • Lack of adequate tissue coverage. • Psychiatric disorders or the disorders of the musculoskeletal system which may create a risk of fusion failure or complications in the postoperative period. • Other medical conditions that exclude the potential benefits of the treatment. Incision approx. 5 cm below the greater trochanter to approx. 5 cm above the lateral epicondyle of the femur. When minimally invasive technique is applied, the incision length of approx. 5 cm is performed on the lateral proximal or distal femur (depending on local conditions and a surgeon's preferences) Procedure stages • Reduction and initial fracture stabilization. • The choice of implants - determining the length and position of the implant. • Insertion of the plate and its positioning. • Temporary stabilization of the implant using Kirschner wires. • Stabilization of the plate using locking or compression screws.
