The defining feature is an internally or externally threaded opening, which accepts screws or other components with corresponding threads.
Hexagonal Head: The threaded component typically has a hexagonal head, requiring a 2.5mm hex screwdriver for tightening.
K-Wire Holes: Pre-drilled holes are included for inserting k-wires, allowing for preliminary fixation to the bone and preliminary realignment of fractured femurs.
Compression Slots: Some plates incorporate compression slots, which allow for a controlled amount of compression to achieve a stable fixation.
Material: These plates are made from materials like titanium and its alloys, known for their biocompatibility, high corrosion resistance, and mechanical properties similar to bone.
