Xpert PFP
.

Your solution for the treatment of periprosthetic femur fractures.

The implants from the Xpert PFP range are intended for periprosthetic femur fractures in adults.

The Xpert PFP line represents a modern generation of periprosthetic plates. It offers a varied range to treat fractures of the femur containing a hip or knee prosthesis.

The number of total hip and knee prosthesis implantations and revisions has been steadily increasing in recent years due to the aging population. This leads to a rise in the number of periprosthetic fractures.

These fractures, although possible at any age, most frequently affect older patients who suffer from degraded bone quality and an increased risk of falls.

Periprosthetic fractures are particularly complex to treat, notably due to the many comorbidities in geriatric patients. To address this, Newclip Technics has developed a complete range dedicated to the treatment of periprosthetic femoral fractures.

To do so, Newclip Technics relied on the Vancouver classification to offer a solution covering all types of fractures.

Vancouver classification for periprosthetic femur fractures in the presence of a total hip prosthesis stem:
A Fracture of the trochanteric region
– AG: greater trochanter
– AL: lesser trochanter
B Fracture around or distal to the stem
– B1: stem fixed to the bone
– B2: stem loosened
– B3: stem loosened with inadequate bone quality
C Well distal to the stem

PROXIMAL PLATES
Xpert PFP offers 3 sizes of proximal plates, designed to treat type B fractures according to the Vancouver classification.
These anatomical plates have the advantage of featuring polyaxial screw holes along the entire femoral shaft, allowing screw orientation as needed to avoid an intramedullary implant.
The screw fixation system is consistent throughout the plate, using 4.5 mm diameter screws.
HOOK PLATES
The Xpert PFP range also offers hook plates designed to treat fractures at the greater trochanter.
Two sizes of hook plates are available, as well as two sizes of hooks to be assembled with a proximal plate.
These hooks are designed with a posterior tab to limit the sliding of the greater trochanter during osteosynthesis.
DIAPHYSEAL PLATES
Two sizes of diaphyseal plates are also available within the Xpert PFP range.
These plates are primarily intended to treat type C fractures according to the Vancouver classification.
DISTAL PLATES
The distal plates offered in the Xpert PFP range come in 3 different sizes.
This type of plate is intended for the treatment of periprosthetic femur fractures around a knee prosthesis.
These anatomical plates feature polyaxial locking screws along the entire femoral shaft, allowing screw orientation within a 25° range to avoid the intramedullary implant.
The fixation system is consistent along the entire plate, using 4.5 mm diameter screws.

Key features of the Xpert PFP range.

  • Anatomical plates:
    • Xpert PFP plates are machined directly from solid material, making them more anatomical and ideally adapted to the patient’s anatomy, providing better overall mechanical resistance
  • A simple polyaxial system:
    • All the holes on the Xpert PFP plates are polyaxial, offering a 25° conical angular freedom, which helps avoid all sensitive areas of the femur
  • Effective compression thanks to the ramped oblong hole:
    • The presence of a ramped oblong hole on all Xpert PFP plates allows for bone-to-bone compression and thus a more efficient fracture reduction
  • A cerclage system according to preference:
    • The Xpert PFP plates can be combined with a cerclage system using a cerclage button, or without a button thanks to the “wave shape” design around the holes along the plate
  • A design conceived for greater trochanter protection:
    • The hook plates in the Xpert PFP range are designed to protect the greater trochanter through the posterior tab of the plate, thereby preventing slippage of the greater trochanter during osteosynthesis
