Comprehensive Guide for Compact Hand Plates 2.0 mm Distal Ulna Hook
- Patient Assessment : Conduct a thorough evaluation of the patient’s medical history, including any allergies or contraindications.
- Surgical Planning : Review the fracture pattern and determine the appropriate size and type of the distal ulna hook plate required. Prepare the surgical instruments and implant, ensuring all components are sterile and in good condition.
- Patient Preparation : Obtain informed consent from the patient after discussing the procedure, risks, and benefits. Position the patient correctly on the operating table, ensuring the affected arm is accessible.
- Sterilization and Setup : Sterilize the surgical field and ensure that all necessary sterile drapes, tools, and materials are ready.
- Incision and Exposure : Make a surgical incision over the distal ulna to expose the fracture site. Carefully retract surrounding tissues to gain access to the fracture area.
- Fracture Reduction : Align the fractured distal ulna to its anatomical position, using manual or mechanical methods as needed.
- Plate Application : Position the Compact Hand Plate - 2.0 mm Distal Ulna Hook Plate on the distal ulna, ensuring proper fit and alignment. Secure the plate to the bone using precision-engineered screw holes and compatible screws (typically 2.0 mm in diameter).
- Rotation Adjustment : If applicable, adjust the rotation of the distal ulna using the plate’s design features for accurate alignment and correction.
- Closure : Once the plate is securely fixed, close the incision layer by layer using appropriate suturing techniques. Ensure that the implant is properly positioned and that no soft tissue is entrapped.
- Immediate Post-Operative Care : Monitor the patient’s vital signs and ensure proper anesthesia recovery. Apply a suitable dressing to the surgical site and immobilize the affected arm if necessary.
- Pain Management and Medications : Administer pain relief as prescribed and provide the patient with post-operative medications as needed. Educate the patient on wound care and any medications they need to take.
- Follow-Up and Rehabilitation : Schedule follow-up appointments to monitor healing, including imaging studies to assess the positioning of the plate and fracture healing. Initiate a rehabilitation program as directed, focusing on restoring range of motion and strength.
- Patient Education : Instruct the patient on signs of infection, complications, and how to care for their surgical site. Advise on activity restrictions and any specific precautions to follow during the recovery period.
- Post-Operative Review : Evaluate the success of the implant in stabilizing the fracture and making any necessary adjustments based on the patient’s progress. Address any issues or complications promptly to ensure optimal recovery.
