DHS Trochanter Stabilizing Plates (281.869/870)
The DHS trochanter stabilizing plates offer anchoring
options for the fixation of fragments of the greater trochanter
(a), an aperture for an anti-rotation screw (b), an oval
aperture for the DHS/DCS screw (c) and holes for fixation to
the DHS plate (d). The scooped section can be adapted
to the anatomical contours of the greater trochanter using
bending irons or flat-nosed pliers.

Anti-rotation screw
The anti-rotation screw can be used on its own, with the
DHS plate, or the DHS plate and the DHS trochanter
stabilizing plate. The screw effectively prevents rotation of
the head-neck fragment of the femur around the DHS
screw.
