0X6.000.686_AA.qxp:0X6.000.686_AA 10.12.2008 7:55 Uhr Seite 2 Features and Benefits Increased rotational stability The shape of the blade leads to improved rotational stability of the femoral head-neck fragment, which is vital for reducing the risk of cut-out, delayed union and varus angulation in unstable trochanteric fractures. 1 Better anchorage in the femoral head The specially designed tip of the blade allows for compaction of the bone when the blade is inserted. This compaction leads to improved anchorage of the implant in the femoral head, which is beneficial especially in...

0X6.000.686_AA.qxp:0X6.000.686_AA 10.12.2008 7:55 Uhr Seite 3 Compatible with conventional and LCP DHS plate Both the DHS Blade and the DHS Screw are compatible with the LCP DHS plate as well as the conventional DHS plate. Various lengths ensure optimal anchorage The DHS Blade consists of a shaft part and a blade part. The length of the blade part depends on the total length of the DHS Blade: the shorter the entire DHS Blade, the shorter the blade part. This ensures an optimal anchorage of the DHS Blade in the femoral head for different bone sizes. Locking mechanism During insertion: DHS...

No. 034.000.185). Important: If the DHS Blade is from 65 to 75 mm, a DHS plate with short barrel should be used to allow for sufficient dynamization. 6 Synthes DHS Blade Technique Guide Seite 6

The plate can then be slid over the shaft of the DHS Blade. Due to the free rotation of the blade part relative to the shaft part, the DHS plate can be easily aligned to the femoral shaft. 7 Impact DHS plate onto the bone Instruments 338.280 or 338.140 DHS/DCS Impactor, for One-Step Insertion Technique DHS/DCS Impactor The plate can be impacted onto the bone with one of the two...
