The Dynamic Condylar Screw (DCS) system is designed for stable internal fixation of complex femoral fractures. It consists of a large lag screw, typically 12.5 mm in diameter, inserted at a fixed 95° angle into the femoral condyle and connected to a side plate. The plate is available in various lengths to accommodate different fracture configurations and bone lengths.
The fixed 95° angle aligns with the distal femoral anatomy, ensuring accurate reduction and angular stability. The lag screw provides controlled compression across the fracture site, while the plate ensures strong fixation, even in comminuted or osteoporotic bone. Manufactured from stainless steel or titanium, the system offers high strength, biocompatibility, and reliable fixation for demanding reconstructive cases.
Indications
- Supracondylar fractures of the distal femur
- Intercondylar fractures of the distal femur
- Comminuted distal femoral fractures
- Select subtrochanteric femoral fractures
- Non-unions or malunions of the femur
- Osteoporotic fractures requiring angular stability
- Fractures not suitable for intramedullary nailing
- Reconstructive procedures in complex femoral fractures
