Lateral Cap Screw<br />

Optional dynamic or<br />

static positioning of<br />

the <strong>Locking</strong> Screw<br />

Characteristcs of <strong>PLATON</strong> Variation IIII<br />

Proximal Fixation Bolt<br />

– for fixation of the Femoral Lag Screw against rotation<br />

and gliding<br />

– avoidance of tissue growth for easier later material<br />

removal<br />

– in two versions, tailored to the collodiaphyseal<br />

angle used<br />

Lateral Cap Screw<br />

– offers optimal soft tissue protection in the transient<br />

area towards the Femoral Lag Screw<br />

– avoids tissue growth<br />

Indications <strong>PLATON</strong> Variation III<br />

<strong>PLATON</strong>-S<br />

– unstable subtrochanteric fractures (dynamic locking<br />

of the nail)<br />

– pathological fractures (static locking of the nail)<br />

<strong>PLATON</strong>-L<br />

– high femur fractures (dynamic locking of the nail)<br />

– pathological femur fractures (static locking of the<br />

nail)
