Overview
The L Distal Radius Locking Plate – Right Angled Shaft (Head 3 Hole) is a precision-engineered orthopedic implant specifically designed for the fixation of distal radius fractures. Its unique L-shaped configuration with a right-angled shaft and 3-hole head offers superior anatomical conformity and mechanical stability, making it ideal for managing both simple and complex distal radius fractures.
Manufactured from high-quality medical-grade titanium or stainless steel, this plate delivers exceptional strength, durability, and biocompatibility. Its locking screw technology ensures secure fixation, especially beneficial in osteoporotic bone and multi-fragmentary fracture patterns. With an optimized profile for distal radius anatomy, this plate supports stable fixation with minimal soft-tissue interference, ensuring reliable healing outcomes and enhanced surgical efficiency.
Key Features
Right-Angled Shaft Design
The right-angled shaft ensures accurate alignment with the distal radius anatomy, offering optimal support for fractures requiring precise angular stability.
L-Shaped Configuration
The L-shape enhances stability by allowing fixation across both the metaphyseal and diaphyseal regions, distributing load efficiently and reducing the risk of hardware failure.
3-Hole Head Design
The three-hole head provides multiple options for strategic screw placement, enabling strong subchondral support and enhancing the stability of distal fragments.
Advanced Locking Screw Mechanism
Locking screw technology ensures that screws remain firmly anchored, preventing loosening or backing out—particularly useful in osteoporotic or comminuted fractures.
High-Strength, Biocompatible Material
Made from premium titanium or stainless steel, the plate is corrosion-resistant, exceptionally durable, and offers excellent fatigue strength for long-term fixation.
Low-Profile, Minimally Invasive Design
A reduced-profile design minimizes irritation to soft tissues and supports minimally invasive surgical techniques, helping reduce post-operative pain and recovery time.
Anatomically Contoured Fit
Engineered to match the natural curvature of the distal radius, the plate allows precise fracture reduction while preserving surrounding anatomical structures.
Indications for Use
-
Distal radius fractures (simple, comminuted, intra-articular, or extra-articular)
-
Osteoporotic distal radius fractures requiring secure locking fixation
-
Fractures requiring anatomical restoration of radial alignment and joint congruity
-
Post-traumatic deformities of the distal radius
-
Multi-fragmentary fractures where enhanced fixation is crucial
Benefits
Superior Fracture Stability
The right-angled shaft and L-shape configuration provide enhanced mechanical support, ensuring stable fixation even in complex fracture patterns.
Reduced Risk of Screw Loosening
The locking mechanism keeps screws securely fixed, preventing migration and improving outcomes in poor-quality bone.
Optimized Healing and Alignment
Precise anatomical contouring maintains radial alignment, reducing the risks of malunion, nonunion, or loss of reduction.
Minimized Soft Tissue Complications
The low-profile design reduces irritation to tendons and surrounding tissues, contributing to faster and more comfortable recovery.
Streamlined Surgical Technique
The thoughtful design simplifies plate positioning and screw placement, reducing surgical time and enhancing procedural efficiency.
