Medical Orthopedic Multi-Axial Distal Radius Medial Locking Plate

Product Description

Background:
Distal radius fractures are among the most common fractures seen in the hospital emergency department. Of these, over 40% are considered unstable and require some form of fixation. In recent years with the advent of low profile plating, open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) using volar plates has become the surgical treatment of choice in many hospitals. However, it is currently unknown which plating system has the lowest complication rate and/or superior clinical and radiological outcomes following surgery. Few studies have compared different types of plates, which may have various features, different plate and screw designs or may be manufactured from different materials (for example, stainless steel or titanium).

Product Overview:

Plates available for Left and Right both direction.
Available in both Titanium and Stainless steel.
Anatomically contoured volar distal radius plates designed to address both simple and complex fractures.
Variable angle LCP holes in the head of the plate combined with variable angle locking screws offer a locked construct to support the articular surface and reduce the need for bone graft.
Four columns of threads in the variable angle locking hole provide four points of threaded locking between the VA-LCP plate and the variable angle locking screw, forming a fixed-angle construct at the desired screw angle.
Plates available for Left and Right both direction
Plate has combi holes and round holes. Combi holes allow fixation with locking screws in the threaded section and cortex screws in the dynamic compression unit section for compression.
The shaft holes accept 2.7 mm locking screws in the threaded portion or 2.7 mm cortical screws in the compression portion. Distal locking holes in plate head accept 2.7 mm locking screws.
2.7 mm Variable Angle Volar Distal Radius Plate allow implant placement to address the individual fracture pattern.
Limited-contact surface reduces bone-to-plate contact and helps to preserve the periosteal blood supply.
Low plate-and-screw profile minimizes potential for tendon and soft tissue irritation.
Choice of different lengths of plate eliminates the need to cut plates.
Anatomic shape fits close to the volar ridge with rounded edges to minimize soft tissue irritation.
Locking screws offer a fixed-angle construct to support the articular surface, reduce the need for bone graft, and obtain fixation in osteoporotic bone.
locking plate increases construct stability, decreases risk of screw back-out and subsequent loss of reduction. It also reduces the need for precise anatomic plate contouring and minimizes the risk of stripped screw holes.
