Summary Offers a wide choice of slimlined hip plates combined with a unique option of cephalic implants and state of the art instrumentation. The Omega3 Hip Plates offer the possibility to apply 5.0mm Locking Inserts and Locking Screws in the plate diaphysis as well as standard 4.5mm Cortical Screws, 6.5mm Cancellous Screws and Asnis III Cannulated Screws. Design Omega3 Low Profile Hip Plate Available in both Standard Barrel (38mm) and Short Barrel (25mm) styles and a full range of sizes and angles. Hip Plate barrel accepts the Omega Plus Lag Screws or Hansson™ Twin Hook. In addition to 4.5mm Cortical Screws, all sideplate holes accept 6.5mm Cancellous Screws or Asnis III 6.5mm Cannulated Screws for additional stabilization. Tapered plate allows for easier slide in when used in minimal invasive technique with short incision. The Hip Plate allows for 5.0mm Locking Inserts used in combination with 5.0mm Locking Screws for angular stable fixation. Bi-directional shaft holes increase the fixed angled construct. Innovative Locking Screws are guided into the plates, thus reducing potential for cross- threading and coldwelding. Available in keyed or keyless. Keyed options may provide additional rotational stability CCD angles available: 130, 135, 140, 145, 150 Omega3 Lag Screw Options 13mm Standard Lag Screw leading edge of the cutting thread engages quickly, with or without tapping, and provides tactile control during final positioning lengths of 50-130mm 15mm Super Lag Screw provide excellent resistance to migration in case of osteoporotic bone lengths of 50-130mm Cephalic Implant Option Twin Hook smooth profile allows to slide into place without turning or hammering, minimizing dislocation of the fragments minimum disruption to cancellous bone full bone / implant surface contact for excellent stability 4 to 6cm skin incision reduce bleeding, tissue destruction, operative time, and may help to limit post-operative pain and rehabilitation time removed or exchanged through a 10mm skin incision without need to remove the plate, reducing the trauma for the patient Indications Typically indicated for fractures in the proximal femur Trochanteric fractures and subtrochanteric fractures Intracapsular and basal neck fractures Approach Posterolateral approach which provides direct access to the fracture site but also necessitates careful handling of surrounding soft tissues Placement Review the frontal and lateral X-Rays of the pelvis and injured femur prior to surgery to assess fracture stability, bone quality, as well as neck-shaft angle and to estimate plate length required The Lag Screw should be centered in the head on both anterior-posterior and lateral views, within 10 millimeters of subchondral bone Application of the template to an X-Ray of the uninvolved hip may help simulate reduction of the fractured hip Screws Screw Cancellous ø6.5mm 16mm thread 32mm thread fully threaded Asnis III Cannulated ø6.5mm 20mm thread 40mm thread fully threaded Types of screws compatible with Omega Plates Compatibility Screw Type Omega Plus Omega2 Omega3 Ø4.5mm Cortical Screws ✔ ✔ ✔ Ø6.5mm Cancellous Screws ✔ ✔ ✔ Ø6.5mm Asnis™ III Cannulated Screws ✔ ✔ ✔ Ø5.0mm Locking Inserts and Screws ✖ ✖ ✔
