Additional Information

Material:Stainless Steel

A proximal femoral hook is placed around the upper part of the femur to gently lift and hold the bone in position during hip or thigh surgeries. Surgeons use it to improve visibility and access to the surgical site without damaging surrounding tissues. It acts like a retractor, keeping the femur stable so the procedure can be performed safely and accurately.

The curved shape allows the hook to wrap naturally around the femoral neck or shaft, matching the bone's anatomy without causing unnecessary pressure or trauma. This design gives surgeons a secure grip while keeping soft tissues, nerves, and blood vessels out of the way. A straight tool simply cannot achieve the same controlled exposure in such a tight, complex surgical area.

Surgeons choose the hook based on the patient’s femur size, age, and bone shape. Small hooks work for children or thinner bones, while larger ones suit adults. Proper sizing ensures a secure hold and reduces the risk of slipping or injury.

Yes, with the right size, proximal femoral hooks can be used in both adults and children. Pediatric hooks are smaller and lighter to protect delicate bones. Using the correct version ensures safe, controlled exposure in any patient.

One of the most frequent errors is using the wrong size, which can cause the hook to slip or apply uneven pressure that risks fracturing the bone. Surgeons should also avoid aggressive retraction force, as excessive pulling can injure nearby nerves, vessels, or soft tissue structures. Proper placement, confirmed visually and by feel, is essential before any traction or repositioning is applied.
