The Synthes 280.55 DHS/DCS Lag Screw is a precision-engineered implant designed to provide stable internal fixation for fractures of the proximal femur, particularly intertrochanteric and subtrochanteric fractures. With a thread diameter of 12.7 mm and a total length of 55 mm, this lag screw is optimized for use with DHS and DCS plates, facilitating effective fracture stabilization. The 22 mm thread length ensures secure engagement with the far cortex, promoting interfragmentary compression and enhancing fracture healing.

Manufactured from high-quality stainless steel, the 280.55 lag screw offers strength and durability suitable for various orthopedic applications. Its cannulated design allows for placement over a guide wire, enabling precise insertion and minimizing surgical trauma. The self-drilling and self-tapping features streamline the surgical process by eliminating the need for pre-drilling and tapping, thereby reducing operative time and potential complications.

Clinically, the 280.55 lag screw is commonly used in the fixation of proximal femoral fractures, including those involving the intertrochanteric and subtrochanteric regions. Its compatibility with DHS and DCS plates allows for versatile surgical planning and execution, accommodating various fracture patterns and patient anatomies. The screw's design and material properties ensure reliable fixation, contributing to successful patient outcomes in reconstructive and trauma surgeries.
