Radius Distal Palm Locking Plate II

Key Features and Benefits of the Radius Distal Palm Locking Plate

The Radius Distal Palm Locking Plate represents a significant advancement in addressing complex distal radius fractures involving the palmar aspect. This innovative plate offers a unique combination of features designed to deliver exceptional patient outcomes and surgeon satisfaction:

• Unmatched Stability and Precision: Engineered for exceptional rigidity, the Radius Distal Palm Locking Plate minimizes implant movement throughout the healing process. Precision-drilled holes and a secure locking mechanism ensure optimal fracture fixation, promoting rapid bone union and reducing the risk of complications.
• Exceptional Versatility for Complex Fractures: This plate comes in a wide variety of configurations, catering to diverse anatomical challenges. This allows you to confidently address complex fracture patterns, including those involving the palmar aspect of the distal radius, ulnar styloid, and lunate facet.
• Minimally Invasive Surgical Approach: The streamlined design facilitates minimally invasive surgical techniques. This translates to smaller incisions, less soft tissue disruption, and minimized patient discomfort. Faster recovery times and improved cosmesis are additional benefits, allowing patients to return to their daily activities sooner.
• Unwavering Commitment to Quality: Manufactured from premium biocompatible materials, the Radius Distal Palm Locking Plate prioritizes long-term implant integrity and patient safety. Each plate undergoes rigorous quality control procedures, guaranteeing consistent performance and exceeding your expectations.

How does a Radius Distal Palm Locking Plate work

The Radius Distal Palm Locking Plate is specifically designed to address complex distal radius fractures involving the palmar aspect of the wrist. These fractures can present challenges due to the complex anatomy and the potential for instability. Here’s how the plate works to achieve optimal outcomes:

1. Fracture Reduction and Plate Application: During surgery, the surgeon first meticulously aligns the fractured bone fragments (reduction) on the palmar side of the distal radius. The Radius Distal Palm Locking Plate, with its anatomical contours, is then positioned over the fracture site to provide initial stabilization.
2. Multi-directional Screw Placement: Unlike traditional plates that secure screws from the dorsal aspect, the Radius Distal Palm Locking Plate allows for screws to be inserted from various angles through the plate and into the bone fragments. This multi-directional approach provides enhanced stability, particularly for complex fracture patterns involving the palmar aspect.
3. Secure Locking Mechanism: Dedicated locking screws engage with designated holes within the plate, creating a more rigid fixation compared to standard screws. This minimizes micromotion (tiny movements) at the fracture site, promoting faster bone union and reducing the risk of implant failure.
4. Ideal for Complex Fracture Patterns: The plate’s versatility in screw angulation allows surgeons to address a wider range of fracture patterns, including those involving the palmar aspect of the distal radius, ulnar styloid, and lunate facet. This provides a more secure fixation option compared to traditional plates for these complex injuries.
5. Biocompatible Material: The Radius Distal Palm Locking Plate is crafted from biocompatible materials that integrate well with the body’s tissues. This minimizes the risk of implant rejection and ensures long-term functionality.
