A Dynamic Hip Screw (DHS) Locking Compression Plate is a device used in orthopedic surgery to treat fractures of the proximal femur, particularly intertrochanteric fractures. It combines the principles of dynamic hip screw fixation and locking plate technology. Here are some of the key features:
Design and Composition:
Material: Typically made from stainless steel or titanium for strength and biocompatibility.
Anatomical Contour: Designed to fit the natural curve of the femur, reducing the need for plate bending.
Locking Mechanism:
Locking Screws: These screws lock into the plate, providing angular stability and reducing the risk of screw loosening. This is especially beneficial in osteoporotic bone.
Screw Options: Various screw lengths and types (cannulated or solid) can be used depending on the specific requirements of the fracture and bone quality.
Compression:
Compression Slots: Allows for controlled compression of the fracture site, promoting primary bone healing through direct contact.
Dynamic Hip Screw Component:
Lag Screw: The lag screw slides within the barrel of the plate, allowing for controlled collapse and dynamic compression at the fracture site during weight bearing.
Anti-Rotation Mechanism: Some designs include an anti-rotation screw to prevent the femoral head from rotating around the lag screw.
Stability and Fixation:
Multiple Screw Holes: Provide options for placing screws at various angles and positions for optimal fixation.
Fixed-Angle Stability: The locking mechanism offers a fixed-angle construct, enhancing stability, especially in comminuted fractures
Minimally Invasive Options:
Some DHS systems are designed for minimally invasive surgical techniques, reducing soft tissue disruption and potentially improving recovery times.
Versatility:
Modularity: The system can be used for different types of fractures (e.g., stable, unstable, or reverse obliquity fractures).
Compatibility: Often compatible with other fixation systems, allowing for a combined approach if necessary.
Clinical Outcomes:
Studies have shown that DHS with locking plates can provide good functional outcomes and high rates of fracture healing, particularly in elderly patients with osteoporotic bone.
These features make the DHS Locking Compression Plate a versatile and effective option for treating proximal femur fractures, providing both stability and the potential for early mobilization.
The Dynamic Hip Screw (DHS) Locking Compression Plate is primarily used for the fixation of fractures in the proximal femur. Here are the key indications for its use：
Intertrochanteric Fractures:
Stable and Unstable: Suitable for both stable and unstable intertrochanteric fractures.
Comminuted Fractures: Effective in managing fractures with multiple fragments due to the enhanced stability provided by the locking mechanism.
Pertrochanteric Fractures:
Fractures that extend through the trochanteric region and require stabilization.
Subtrochanteric Fractures:
Fractures occurring just below the lesser trochanter can be treated with a DHS Locking Compression Plate, especially when the fracture line extends into the intertrochanteric region.
Reverse Obliquity Fractures:
Fractures with a reverse obliquity pattern, which are inherently unstable and benefit from the fixed-angle stability of the locking plate.
Pathologic Fractures:
Fractures occurring in bones weakened by disease (e.g., metastasis, osteoporosis) where the locking mechanism can provide additional support.
Osteoporotic Bone:
Ideal for elderly patients with poor bone quality due to osteoporosis, as the locking screws provide better fixation in weak bone compared to conventional screws.
Revision Surgery:
In cases where previous fixation has failed, the DHS Locking Compression Plate can be used to achieve stable fixation.
Combination with Other Implants:
Can be used in conjunction with other fixation systems (e.g., intramedullary nails) for complex fracture patterns requiring additional stabilization.
These indications highlight the versatility and effectiveness of the DHS Locking Compression Plate in managing various types of proximal femur fractures, providing the necessary stability and support for optimal healing and recovery.

A DHS Locking Compression Plate is an orthopedic device used to treat fractures of the proximal femur, particularly intertrochanteric fractures. It combines the principles of dynamic hip screw fixation and locking plate technology to provide stability and promote bone healing.
This device is used for:
Intertrochanteric fractures (stable and unstable)
Pertrochanteric fractures
Subtrochanteric fractures
Reverse obliquity fractures
Pathologic fractures
Fractures in osteoporotic bone
Revision surgeries
The main benefits include:
Enhanced stability due to the locking mechanism
Reduced risk of screw loosening, particularly in osteoporotic bone
Controlled compression at the fracture site
Minimally invasive surgical options
Versatility in treating various fracture patterns
The locking screws lock into the plate, providing angular stability and reducing the risk of screw loosening. This is particularly advantageous in osteoporotic bone where conventional screws may not hold as securely.
The lag screw slides within the barrel of the plate, allowing for controlled collapse and dynamic compression at the fracture site during weight bearing. This promotes primary bone healing through direct contact.
Yes, it is particularly beneficial for elderly patients with osteoporotic bone, as the locking screws provide better fixation and stability in weak bone compared to conventional screws.
The typical steps include:
Reduction of the fracture
Placement of a guide wire
Drilling and insertion of the lag screw
Attachment of the plate to the femur
Insertion of locking screws for additional stability
As with any surgical procedure, there can be complications, including infection, hardware failure, nonunion or delayed union of the fracture, and potential irritation of soft tissues.
Recovery time varies based on the severity of the fracture, the patient’s overall health, and adherence to rehabilitation protocols. Early mobilization is often encouraged to promote healing and prevent complications.
DHS Locking Compression Plates provide a unique combination of dynamic compression and fixed-angle stability. They are particularly advantageous in osteoporotic bone and complex fracture patterns where conventional fixation methods may not provide sufficient stability.
