One of the product highlights in the osteosynthesis implants segment are cannulated screws. With the help of a guide wire, these screws can be placed exactly at the site of the bone fracture. They are self-tapping and self-cutting, permitting a faster, safe operation process. By supplementing the range with a 2.7 mm diameter screw, AAP Implantate AG offers users the possibility of treating a wider range of fractures, especially in hand and foot surgery.
DYNAMIC HIP SCREW SYSTEM FOR FEMURAL NECK FRACTURES, AND AC-PLATE
The Dynamic Hip Screw System (DHS) for fast, efficient treatment of femural neck fractures and the AC Plate for operative treatment of traumatic injuries to the shoulder corner joint and the clavicle have been outstandingly proven in practice many times over.
BIORIGID NAIL™ TIBIA, BIORIGID NAIL™ FEMUR FOR TUBULAR BONE FRACTURES
The Biorigid Nail™ Tibia and Biorigid Nail™ Femur set new standards in modern trauma surgery. We have developed a complete system based on the principle of interlocking grooves for use in the treatment of tubular bone fractures of the upper and lower thigh. Besides broadening the range of fractures that can be treated, this will optimally meet the demand for individual solutions based on standardized implants.
ANGLE STABLE PLATES
The angle stable plates for treating fractures of the upper and lower arm feature a spherical thread on the screw head and in the hole plate, ensuring that the plate stays at a stable angle. This means that the plate is fixed permanently and retains a firm hold even in osteoporotic bone. This property enables the physician to undertake exercises with the patient immediately after the operation, thereby shortening the rehabilitation period. What is more, the spherical shape of the thread holes makes it possible to use the much expensive standard screws.
ANGLE STABLE PROXIMAL HUMERUS PLATE WITH STABLY ANGLED ANCHORING AND COUNTERSUNK SCREW HEADS
For anatomical, stable reconstruction of complex fractures and early mobilization, the angle stable proximal humerus plate is the perfect choice.
Anatomical Design
- Avoids soft-tissue irritation due to the rounded shape of plate conforming to the profile of the lateral head of the humerus
- Prevents subacromial impingement due to a short cranial end to the plate and countersunk screw heads
- No loosening of screws in relation to the plate
Intraoperative Flexibility and High Stability Thanks to Novel Geometry of Plate Holes
- Stably angled anchoring with spherical threads on the screw head and in the plate holes:
- All plate holes can be fitted with stably-angled self-tapping screws (cortical screw 3.5/ cancellous screw 4.0) or conventional small fragment screws
- When standard screws are used, the angle to the standard plane of the plate can be freely selected up to 10°
- Good primary stability due to the stably-angled anchoring and diverging screw alignment in the head of the humerus
- Avoids secondary dislocation or loosening of implants
- Eyes for fixation of the tubercles
- Speedy rehabilitation as exercise therapy is possible immediately after the operation
Indications
- Complex 2, 3 and 4 fragment fractures of the proximal humerus, even in osteoporotic bone
- Pseudarthroses
- Osteotomies of the proximal humerus
ANGLE STABLE DISTAL RADIUS PLATE
The angle stable distal radius plate is the has been designed for the stable, palmar treatment of flexion and extension fractures .
Secure, Lasting Retention of Resulting Repositioning
- Stably-angled anchoring of the distal screws in the plate close to the joint, with a novel spherical thread on the screw head and in the plate holes
- All plate holes with the spherical thread can be fitted either with stably-angled self-tapping screws (cortical screw 3.5) or with conventional small fragment screws
- When conventional screws are used, the angle to the standard plane of the plate can be freely selected up to 15°
- Avoids secondary loss of reduction due to permanent dorsal fixation of the distal fragments with stably-angled screws
- Angular stability ensures a firm hold even in osteoporotic bone
- Exercise-stability attained enables early functional follow-up treatment even in complex fractures
Indications
- Simple intra- and all extra-articular fractures of the distal radius, even in osteoporotic bone
- Osteotomies of the distal radius
Anatomical design
- Access with few complications
- Optimal plate fitting due to anatomically pre-contoured plates in left-handed and right-handed designs in two lengths
- No intraoperative correction of the plate necessary, as the angle of inclination is already adapted to the contour of the distal radius
TRAUMA SHOULDER SYSTEM BASED ON SCHAUWECKER AND MÜLLER
The trauma shoulder system based on Schauwecker and Müller permits for the first time ever direct, anatomical fixation of the rotator cuff in treating comminuted fractures of the humerus head in older people. The advantages of the implant are:
- For the first time ever, the rotator cuff can be connected to the implant via a large number of fixing points
- The shaft module is fixed primarily (no test prosthesis needed), after which the individual shaft is built up
- Prosthesis length can be adjusted by means of spacer disks of varying sizes
- Individual modules can be interlinked, making it possible to vary prosthesis rotation
- The prosthesis is designed to permit optimal lateralization across various head sizes
- Various head sizes and diameters available
