Overview
The Distal Radius Locking Plate Straight – Dorsal is a high-performance orthopedic implant designed specifically for the stabilization and fixation of distal radius fractures. Ideal for fractures of the dorsal aspect of the radius, this plate is straight to accommodate a variety of fracture types, including extra-articular, intra-articular, and complex fractures. The straight design ensures a reliable, anatomical fit to the dorsal surface, while its locking mechanism provides enhanced stability and support during the healing process.
Crafted from high-strength titanium or medical-grade stainless steel, this plate offers superior durability, lightweight construction, and excellent biocompatibility, ensuring long-lasting and reliable fracture fixation. Whether for acute fractures, osteoporotic bone, or post-traumatic deformities, the Distal Radius Locking Plate Straight – Dorsal delivers precise, stable, and durable fracture management.
Key Features
-
Straight Design for Dorsal Fixation: The straight configuration of the plate is specifically designed for fractures on the dorsal aspect of the distal radius, providing a secure and stable fit for a wide range of fracture patterns.
-
Locking Mechanism: The plate’s locking screw system ensures stable fixation by securing screws in place, which reduces the risk of screw loosening, migration, or failure, especially in osteoporotic bone.
-
Anatomical Fit: Designed to fit the natural contours of the distal radius, this plate offers an anatomical, low-profile solution for both simple and complex fractures. Its design minimizes the need for extensive manipulation during surgery.
-
Material Strength & Durability: Made from high-strength titanium or stainless steel, the plate offers excellent biomechanical properties for long-term fracture stability while being lightweight to improve patient comfort.
-
Versatile Application: Suitable for a wide variety of distal radius fractures, including extra-articular, intra-articular, and unstable fractures, as well as osteoporotic bone where enhanced fixation is required.
-
Minimally Invasive Design: The plate is designed for easy implantation with minimal soft tissue disruption, promoting faster recovery and reducing post-operative complications like infection or excessive swelling.
Indications for Use
-
Extra-articular fractures of the distal radius
-
Intra-articular fractures requiring stable fixation
-
Comminuted or unstable fractures in the distal radius
-
Osteoporotic fractures, where enhanced fixation strength is required
-
Post-traumatic deformities, requiring fracture stabilization
-
Fractures requiring dorsal plating for enhanced alignment and support
Benefits
-
Enhanced Stability: The locking screw system ensures a rigid and stable fracture fixation, preventing screw loosening and enhancing the overall strength of the fixation, even in challenging bone conditions like osteoporosis.
-
Reduced Risk of Plate Migration: The locking mechanism reduces the risk of plate migration, providing more secure fixation and promoting long-term healing.
-
Optimal Healing: The anatomical design of the plate helps maintain proper bone alignment, which is crucial for optimal healing and reducing the likelihood of malunion or nonunion.
-
Reduced Surgical Time: The straight design simplifies the surgical procedure, reducing the complexity of implantation and allowing for quicker and more efficient procedures in the operating room.
-
Minimal Soft Tissue Disruption: The design minimizes damage to surrounding tissues, promoting faster healing, reducing scarring, and enhancing patient comfort during recovery.
