Distal Femoral

The OrthoLine™ distal femoral fracture system is designed to aid in fractures of the distal femur. The plate is designed to be placed on the lateral aspect of the bone with minimal to no contouring.

Designed with the surgeon in mind, the OrthoLine distal femoral fracture plates are anatomically designed, incorporating distal and proximal screw trajectories to align centrally in the metaphyseal and diaphyseal bone.

The anatomic design features include a contour to follow the natural procurvatum, distal caudal curvature with increased screw density of the distal aspect of the plate, and specific screw trajectories throughout the plate.

OrthoLine plates include features to help create a more reproducible procedure: the plates are contoured anatomically to match the bone surface. The K-wire holes allow plate placement prior to screw insertion, which helps the surgeon find the best location to place the plate. The low-profile design is less prominent under the skin, with features that limit bone-to-plate contact. The plate includes a suture hole on the distal end to aid in the stabilization of the patella or to aid in soft-tissue closure.

Additionally, features designed to aid in proper plate placement include variable-angle locking (VAL) screws for the titanium lines.
