Dynamic Compression Plate (DCP) for 2.7mm Screws: Promoting Bone Healing in Fractures
The Dynamic Compression Plate (DCP) for 2.7mm Screws is a valuable implant used in orthopedic surgery to achieve stable fixation and potentially promote healing in fractured bones. This versatile plate offers several advantages for various surgical procedures:
- Dynamic Compression Feature: DCP plates have a unique screw hole configuration that allows for controlled compression across the fracture site using a specific surgical technique. This compression can stimulate bone healing in certain fracture types.
- Strong Fixation with 2.7mm Screws: The plate design, along with the use of 2.7mm screws, provides a strong and secure hold on the bone fragments, promoting stable healing during the recovery process.
- Versatility in Applications: DCPs for 2.7mm screws are suitable for various bone fixation needs, particularly in the limbs (arms and legs).
Applications in Orthopedic Surgery:
DCPs for 2.7mm Screws find application in various orthopedic procedures involving bone fractures, particularly in the limbs:
- Fracture Fixation in Limbs: These plates are commonly used to secure fractures in the long bones of the arm (humerus, radius, ulna) and leg (femur, tibia, fibula).
- Trauma Surgery: In cases of complex fractures or those requiring a combination of stability and potential compression for healing, DCPs can be a valuable option.
Important Considerations:
The choice of DCP and screw size depends on the specific fracture location and characteristics. Consulting with a qualified orthopedic surgeon is crucial to determine the most appropriate implant selection and surgical approach for your individual case. Here are some additional factors to consider:
- Type and severity of the fracture
- Location of the fracture in the limb
- Bone quality and density
- Patient’s overall health and medical history
Additional Notes:
- DCPs for 2.7mm screws come in various lengths and configurations to accommodate different bone sizes and fracture patterns in the limbs.
- The material of the plate is typically biocompatible stainless steel or titanium alloy.
- The surgery to implant the DCP typically involves fluoroscopy (live X-ray) to ensure accurate positioning of the plate and screws within the limb.
