The system’s wide plates and narrow screws are designed to address fixation and poor bone quality in patients with periprosthetic fractures. The bicortical screws can be placed within a 30 degree polyazial cone and secured at any time intraoperatively using locking caps.
The system is fully compatible with the cables and cable buttons of the Zimmer Cable-Ready System for added flexibility.
