The DHS/DCS basic system allows for two procedures in one instrument tray. The Dynamic Hip Screw (DHS) is designed to provide strong and stable internal fixation of a variety of inter-trochanteric, subtrochanteric and basilar neck fractures, with minimal soft tissue irritation.
The number of screw holes per plate length is maximized, without compromising plate strength. This allows an increased number of fixation points with a smaller incision. The Dynamic Condylar Screw is designed to provide strong and stable internal fixation of certain distal femoral and subtrochanteric fractures, with minimal soft tissue irritation.
The DCS is indicated for the following fractures of the distal femur: Intercondylar fractures, Supracondylar fractures, and Unicondylar fractures.
Synthes has made a reputation of being the world leader in fracture management. Synthes long standing relationship with the AO Foundation has solidified its position as a leader the orthopedic community.
