The Non-Locking DHS 135° Plate Set is an orthopedic implant system intended for use in appropriate fracture fixation procedures involving the proximal femur. Designed for use as part of a Dynamic Hip Screw (DHS) construct, the 135° plate configuration supports the assembly of a fixation system selected according to the patient's anatomy, fracture pattern, and surgical requirements. This set is specified as a 33-piece configuration and includes 4-hole and 5-hole plate options.
Design and Configuration
The plate features a 135° angle, a configuration commonly associated with DHS fixation systems. The non-locking design uses conventional screw fixation rather than a threaded locking interface between the screw head and the plate. Correct implant selection and placement depend on the intended system, compatible components, and the surgeon's assessment of the fracture.
The 4-hole and 5-hole options provide different plate lengths and fixation-hole configurations. The appropriate option depends on the required fixation span, bone anatomy, and surgical plan. Exact plate dimensions, hole spacing, and compatible screw specifications should be confirmed from the manufacturer's product documentation.
Material and Construction
The product title specifies SS 316L stainless steel. This material is used in certain medical implant applications because of its corrosion resistance and suitability for appropriate medical-device manufacturing processes. The exact material grade, mechanical properties, manufacturing specifications, surface finish, and applicable certifications should be verified through the supplier's documentation before clinical use.
Implant suitability depends on more than material composition alone. The finished device must meet the relevant requirements for its intended use, and it must be handled, implanted, and maintained according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Surgical Applications
A DHS plate is generally associated with dynamic hip screw fixation for selected proximal femoral fractures. The plate forms part of a larger fixation construct, so compatibility with the lag screw, barrel design, cortical screws, and any other required components is essential. The 135° configuration must be appropriate for the intended implant system and the patient's anatomy.
This product should not be assumed to be compatible with every DHS screw or instrumentation system. Clinical selection, implantation technique, and postoperative management must be determined by qualified orthopedic professionals using the applicable instructions for use.
Set Configuration and Handling
The listed configuration contains 33 pieces, with 4-hole and 5-hole non-locking DHS plates identified in the product title. The title does not specify the complete component breakdown, screw sizes, quantity of each plate, or whether instruments are included. Buyers should request an itemized packing list to verify the supplied contents.
Before use, trained personnel should inspect the implant and packaging for damage, contamination, or other signs that could affect suitability. Storage, transport, sterilization status, and handling must follow the manufacturer's labeling. Do not assume that an implant is sterile or ready for implantation unless its packaging and documentation explicitly confirm this.
Choosing the Appropriate DHS Plate
When selecting a Non-Locking DHS 135° Plate, verify the plate angle, number of holes, material specification, dimensions, and compatibility with the intended DHS components. The 4-hole and 5-hole options offer different fixation configurations, but neither should be selected solely on hole count. The final choice should be based on the fracture pattern, bone anatomy, surgical plan, and the manufacturer's approved system specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is a Non-Locking DHS 135° Plate used for?
It is designed for use as part of a compatible Dynamic Hip Screw fixation system in selected proximal femoral fracture procedures. Suitability depends on the fracture pattern and the surgeon's assessment.
2. What does 135° mean on a DHS plate?
The 135° designation refers to the angle of the plate's barrel or screw-guiding configuration relative to the plate body. The angle must match the intended fixation system and surgical requirements.
3. What is the difference between a locking and a non-locking DHS plate?
A non-locking plate uses conventional screws that do not lock into threaded plate holes. A locking plate uses a threaded interface designed to secure compatible screw heads to the plate.
4. What is the difference between 4-hole and 5-hole DHS plates?
The hole count describes the plate's available fixation-hole configuration. The two options differ in plate length and potential fixation span; exact dimensions should be checked in the manufacturer's specifications.
5. What material is this DHS plate set made from?
The product title specifies SS 316L stainless steel. Buyers should verify the material grade and supporting documentation with the supplier.
6. How many pieces are included in this set?
The product is listed as a 33-piece set. The precise breakdown of plates, screws, and other components is not provided in the title and should be confirmed before purchase.
7. Are DHS screws included with the plates?
The title does not provide a complete component list, so screw inclusion and quantities cannot be confirmed. Request an itemized packing list from the supplier.
8. Are the plates compatible with all DHS systems?
No universal compatibility should be assumed. The plate, lag screw, barrel, cortical screws, and instrumentation must be compatible with the specific fixation system.
9. Is the DHS plate set supplied sterile?
The sterility status is not specified in the product title. Check the manufacturer's packaging and instructions for use before any clinical application.
10. What should be checked before ordering this DHS plate set?
Verify the 135° angle, 4- and 5-hole options, SS 316L material documentation, exact dimensions, component quantities, screw compatibility, and applicable manufacturer documentation.
