The dynamic plate screw system for osteosynthesis of the most proximal femoral fractures as well as femoral condylar fractures. The abbreviation used for the autodynamic plate screw system by aap is APS.
The dynamic hip screw and dynamic condylar screw system provides secure fracture stabilization and permits rapid patient mobilization. The simple and secure handling of the instruments supports the efficiency of surgery. Selftapping screws reduce the number of surgical steps required. The process of fracture healing is accelareted by autodynamic compression.
Materials
The titanium alloy used for manufacturing provides excellent biocompatibility reducing the risk of allergic reactions. As an alternative the implants are also available in stainless steel.
Rotational stability of the system is provided by the flattened design of both lag screw and plate cylinder.
