SEGMENTAL INTERLOCKING BOLT A NEW IMPLANT SYSTEM FOR FRACTURE NECK OF FEMUR

Dr Shyamprasad P V, Dr. N. Ramachandran

Abstract :

 An implant system for fixation of fracture neck of femur is disclosed. This device is a Self tapping bolt(Fig.1) which accommodates a cannulated hip screw(Fig.3) and a lock washer(Fig.2). Compression stability can be given at the fracture site by compression top screw(Fig.4) and rotational stability can be given by a 6.5mm cancellous screw(Fig.6). The lateral cortex of proximal femur can be strengthened by lateral trochanteric plate(Fig.5). The dynamic compression while weight beå or in collapse at fracture site can be converted to static compression by locking of serrations on the head of compression top screw to lock washer hole. By using this device, adequate compression stability and rotational stability can be given at the fracture site with promotion of early weight beå and better chances of fracture healing.
