Overview
The Distal Radius RIM Locking Plate is a state-of-the-art orthopedic implant designed for the secure stabilization and fixation of distal radius fractures, particularly in complex or unstable cases. Featuring a unique RIM (Radius Internal Mechanism) design, this plate provides an innovative solution for fracture fixation with an emphasis on anatomical precision, enhanced stability, and reliable mechanical support during the healing process. The locking screw system ensures robust fixation, making it an ideal choice for both simple and comminuted fractures of the distal radius, including those with osteoporotic bone.
Crafted from high-quality titanium or stainless steel, the RIM Locking Plate offers exceptional strength, durability, and biocompatibility. Its specialized design supports efficient and predictable healing, helping to minimize complications and improve long-term recovery outcomes for patients.
Key Features
-
RIM (Radius Internal Mechanism) Design: The unique RIM design improves the fit and alignment of the plate, allowing for precise positioning of screws and providing enhanced fracture stability. This mechanism is specifically engineered to support complex fracture configurations, ensuring optimal healing and reducing the risk of malunion or nonunion.
-
Locking Screw System: The RIM Locking Plate features a robust locking mechanism, which secures screws in place, preventing screw loosening and plate migration, especially in osteoporotic bone where traditional methods may fail. This ensures superior fixation strength, providing enhanced mechanical stability for long-term fracture healing.
-
Anatomical Contouring: Designed to follow the natural curvature of the distal radius, the plate’s anatomical contour reduces the need for extensive bone manipulation during surgery, minimizing soft tissue disruption and improving patient outcomes.
-
High-Strength Material: Manufactured from premium titanium or medical-grade stainless steel, the plate combines durability with lightweight properties, reducing the overall weight on the bone while offering exceptional strength to withstand the forces required for fracture fixation.
-
Minimally Invasive Design: The plate is designed for ease of implantation with minimal soft tissue disruption, supporting a minimally invasive surgical approach that leads to faster recovery, reduced scarring, and fewer post-operative complications.
-
Versatile Application: Suitable for a wide range of distal radius fractures, including extra-articular, intra-articular, comminuted, and osteoporotic fractures, as well as post-traumatic deformities, where stable and reliable fixation is essential for successful recovery.
Indications for Use
-
Distal radius fractures (simple, complex, and comminuted)
-
Osteoporotic fractures of the distal radius requiring enhanced fixation
-
Extra-articular and intra-articular fractures where anatomical alignment and stability are critical
-
Post-traumatic deformities, where stable fixation is required to restore anatomical function
-
Fractures in patients with low bone density, where advanced fixation strength is necessary to prevent screw loosening or hardware failure
Benefits
-
Enhanced Stability and Fixation: The RIM Locking Plate ensures optimal alignment, providing superior fracture stability and preventing hardware failure, even in compromised bone conditions.
-
Improved Healing Outcomes: The anatomical contour of the plate helps maintain proper bone alignment, reducing the risk of malunion and promoting faster, more reliable healing.
-
Minimized Risk of Plate Migration: The locking screw system securely fixes the plate to the bone, significantly reducing the risk of migration or screw loosening over time.
-
Reduced Soft Tissue Damage: The plate’s design minimizes soft tissue trauma during the surgical procedure, leading to less postoperative pain and faster recovery.
-
Streamlined Surgical Procedure: The RIM Locking Plate is easy to apply with minimal complications, helping to reduce surgical time and improve procedural efficiency.
