The PFF Modular Hook for treating proximal fractures of the femur provides the usual excellent stability of O’nil locking plates, but with the additional option of securing the Greater Trochanter using a modular Greater Trochanter hook. The patented conical screw locking system creates a stable system in osteoporotic bones, when screw security can be compromised. In this system the screws act like an external fixator, rather than compressing the plate onto the bone. This important feature of O’nil locking plates helps to preserve periosteal vascularity.

The PFF Modular Hook for the proximal femur provides all the stability features of the O’nil system and, if necessary, also offers the possibility of assembling the modular GT hook to stabilize the greater trochanter. The patented conical locking system is important to achieve angular stability in osteoporotic bones, where the grip of the screws may be compromised. Rather than using the compression of the plate on the bone to resist the patient’s load, the screws work like a fixator, and the limited-contact design helps to preserve the external periosteal blood supply. In addition, the innovative Rail system offers the possibility of creating a dynamic system thanks to a new type of screw with a cylindrical head that slides into the slot of the plate.
