2.7MM Extra Articular Distal Radius LCP - Volar Left & Right

volar extra-articular distal radius plate. the anatomically pre-contoured plates featuring variable angle locking are indicated for fixation of intra- and extra-articular fractures and osteotomies of the distal radius. 2.4/2.7MM Locking Plate Extra-Articular Volar Distal Radius 5 Hole Head Type-III, Right/Left is used or fixation of complex intra and extra-articular fractures and osteotomies of the distal radius and other small bones.

• Extra-Articular Distal Radius Fractures: AO Type 23-A fractures (A2 and A3 subtypes) Simple transverse or oblique fractures proximal to the radiocarpal joint
• Osteoporotic or Fragility Fractures: Distal radius fractures in elderly patients with poor bone quality requiring angular-stable fixation
• Metaphyseal Instability: Fractures with dorsal comminution or volar cortex disruption requiring volar buttressing
• Fractures Requiring Early Mobilization:Stable fixation to allow functional recovery and rehabilitation in early stages
• Corrective Osteotomies: Realignment of malunited distal radius fractures not involving the joint surface
• Nonunions: Treatment of nonunited distal radius fractures without intra-articular involvement

• 2.4/2.7MM Locking Plate Extra-Articular Volar Distal Radius 5 Hole Head Type-III, Right/Left is precontoured with a complex bend designed to fit the volar surface of the distal radius. Juxta-articular plates may be used for more complex fractures. Placement is as distal as possible on the radius. The locking holes in the head of the plate are angled 5° proximal to the articular surface, to allow a more distal plate placement.
• Straight plates are contoured to fit the radial column and have a notched tip that allows them to fit on the radial styloid, adjacent to a temporary K-wire fixation.
• Locking Compression Plates (LCP) have Combi holes which allow locking screw fixation in the threaded section or compression in the non-threaded section of the hole.
• Locking screws offer a fixed-angle construct to support the articular surface, reduce the need for bone graft, and obtain fixation in osteoporotic bone.
• Undercuts on the bottom of the plate head facilitate contouring of the plate to match the anatomy of the distal radius and minimize the potential for soft tissue irritation.
• Rounded edges minimize potential for tendon adhesion.
• Smaller plates and screws address fracture fragments individually, with less overall implant bulk.
• Plate available with 5 head holes and 3 and 5 shaft holes.
• Plates available for Left and Right.
• Plates available in Titanium.
