Product Uses
- Distal Radius Fractures : The plate is utilized to stabilize and align fractures of the distal radius, which is the most commonly fractured bone in the wrist.
- Intra-Articular Fractures : It is suitable for managing intra-articular fractures, where the fracture extends into the joint surface of the wrist.
- Extra-Articular Fractures : The plate can effectively stabilize extra-articular fractures, where the fracture does not extend into the joint.
- Comminuted Fractures : It is used for fractures with multiple bone fragments, providing stable fixation for proper healing.
- Osteoporotic Fractures :The plate is particularly useful for fractures in individuals with osteoporotic bone, as it offers superior stability.
- Distal Radius Osteotomies :It is employed in corrective surgeries, such as distal radius osteotomies, to realign the wrist joint.
Product Specification
- Material : made from high-quality medical-grade titanium alloy for strength and biocompatibility.
- Design : A two-column plate design with variable angle screw options to accommodate various fracture patterns and patient anatomies.
- Screw Holes : Multiple screw holes with different angles and orientations for flexible fixation.
- Length : Various plate lengths available to suit different patient sizes and fracture types.
- Width : The plate's width is designed to fit the bone's anatomy and provide optimal stability.
- Locking Mechanism : Locking screws for enhanced stability and angular stability.

Comprehensive Guide for Volar Distal Radius Plate - Two Column (Variable Angle)
- Patient Evaluation : A comprehensive evaluation of the patient's medical history, overall health, and specific wrist condition to determine the suitability for the surgical procedure.
- Imaging Studies : X-rays, CT scans, or MRI may be performed to assess the extent and nature of the wrist fracture or injury.
- Surgical Planning : Surgeons will plan the surgical approach, determine the appropriate plate size, and select the screw angles based on the patient's anatomy and fracture pattern.
- Preoperative Instructions : Patients will receive specific instructions regarding fasting, medication management, and any necessary preoperative tests.
- Anesthesia Consultation : If general anesthesia is required, patients will consult with an anesthesiologist before the procedure.
- Incision : A small incision is made on the volar (palm-side) aspect of the wrist to access the fractured bone.
- Reduction : The fractured bone fragments are carefully realigned (reduced) into their anatomically correct positions.
- Plate Placement : The Volar Distal Radius Plate - Two Column (Variable Angle ) is carefully positioned over the fractured bone, spanning the fracture site.
- Screw Fixation : Variable angle screws are inserted through the plate into the bone to secure the plate in place and stabilize the fracture.
- Confirming Alignment : Intraoperative imaging, such as fluoroscopy, is used to confirm the accurate positioning of the plate and fracture alignment.
- Wound Closure : The incision is closed using sutures or staples, and a sterile dressing is applied.
- Immobilization : After surgery, the wrist may be immobilized using a splint or cast to support healing.
- Hospital Stay : The length of hospital stay may vary based on the extent of the surgery and the patient's recovery progress.
- Pain Management : Pain medication will be prescribed to manage postoperative discomfort.
- Wound Care : Proper wound care and dressing changes will be performed to prevent infection and promote healing.
- Immobilization : A splint or cast may be applied to immobilize the wrist and facilitate healing.
- Physical Therapy : Postoperative rehabilitation with physical therapy will be initiated to regain wrist function and strength.
- Follow-up Appointments : Regular follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor the healing process and remove stitches, if necessary.
