DISTAL
RADIUS PLATES
For the stable, palmar treatment of flexion and extension fractures.
Secure, lasting retention of resulting repositioning
Stably-angled anchoring of the distal screws in the plate close to the joint, with a novel spherical thread on the screw head and in the plate holes* All plate holes with the spherical thread can be fitted either with stably-angled self-tapping screws (cortical screw 3.5) or with conventional small fragment screws
* When conventional screws are used, the angle to the standard plane of the plate can be freely selected up to 15°
Screws options
# Avoids secondary loss of reduction due to permanent dorsal fixation of the distal fragments with stably-angled screws
# Angular stability ensures a firm hold even in osteoporotic bone
# Exercise-stability attained enables early functional followup treatment even in complex fractures Indications
Indications
# Osteotomies of the distal radius
Anatomical design
# Optimal plate fitting due to anatomically pre-contoured plates in left-handed and right-handed designs in two lengths
# No intraoperative correction of the plate necessary, as the angle of inclination is already adapted to the contour of the distal radius
