Variable angle locking screws provide the ability to create a fixed-angle construct while also allowing the surgeon the freedom to choose the screw trajectory. A fixed-angle construct provides advantages in osteopenic bone or multi-fragmentary fractures. With Synthes Variable Angle LCP locking screw technology, screw angulation is unlimited within a cone of 30° around the central axis of the plate hole. Variable angle locking enables optimal screw positioning and offers many benefits, allowing the surgeon to:

– Target fragments with high-quality bone, especially in patients with osteopenic bone

– Adjust screw direction after bending the plate

– Position screw precisely to avoid joint penetration

– Redirect screw position to avoid existing implants, prosthesis or independent lag screws

– Adapt screw position to accommodate varied patient anatomy and capture fracture fragments

Variable Angle LCP Hole

– Four columns of threads in locking hole provide four points of locking between the VA-LCP plate and the variable angle locking screw, forming a fixed-angle construct at the desired screw angle

Variable Angle LCP Combi Hole– Many of the variable angle plates feature

a variable angle Combi hole that com-bines a dynamic compression hole with a variable angle locking screw hole. This provides the flexibility of selecting either axial compression or variable angle locking in the same hole

Variable Angle LCP Elongated Combi Hole– Elongated Combi hole aids in reduction

and plate positioning, providing more versatility for the surgeon

Variable Angle Locking Screws

– Threaded, spherical screw head profile

– Rounded shape facilitates various angles in the plate

– Self-retaining StarDrive recess for improved torque transmission and increased resistance to stripping

Locking Screws

– Threaded conical screw head profile

– For use in variable angle locking holes in the predefined nominal angle

Cortex Screws

– Can be used for traditional compression and fixation

Tibial shaft fractures

Humeral shaft fractures

Femoral shaft fractures

Proximal femur fractures

Distal femur fractures

Intra- and extra-articular proximal tibia fractures
