The DHS Angle Guide 135° is a specialized surgical instrument used in orthopedic procedures to assist with the precise placement of screws in Dynamic Hip Screw (DHS) fixation surgeries, typically for hip fractures. This angle guide is designed to help surgeons maintain the correct trajectory and alignment when inserting screws, ensuring that the screws are positioned at the optimal 135° angle for secure fixation and proper healing. The 135° angle is ideal for stabilizing fractures in the femoral neck, promoting effective weight-bearing and minimizing complications during recovery.
The guide is constructed from high-quality stainless steel or surgical-grade materials, providing durability and resistance to wear during repeated use. Its ergonomic design allows for easy handling and accurate placement, improving the precision of the surgical procedure. The guide typically features adjustable settings that allow the surgeon to customize the angle for different types of fractures and patient anatomies, making it a versatile tool in hip fracture management.
The DHS Angle Guide 135° is commonly used in conjunction with the DHS system, which is a widely accepted technique for treating intertrochanteric and femoral neck fractures. By ensuring that the screws are inserted at the correct angle, the guide helps optimize fracture stabilization, reduce the risk of complications such as screw migration or nonunion, and support faster recovery for patients.
