Biological Healing Plates, 4.5mm 8 hole 150mm long - 10mm wide

These plates are designed to bridge a section of shattered long bone. It effectively acts as a buttress plate. No attempt is made to reconstruct. The fracture site is not disturbed to minimize de-vitalization and contamination. The plate maintains the length and permits weight bearing. Use of these plates avoids leaving empty screw holes over the fracture site. Empty holes significantly weaken the construct. Use when proximal and distal sections are intact and the body of the femur are un-reconstructable. All plates have round holes as there is no need for compression.
