2.7 mm Locking Volar Juxta Articular Distal Radius Plate

Specifications - 2.7 mm Locking Volar Juxta Articular Distal Radius Plate

  • Plates available holes are 3, 4 and 5.
  • Plate has combi holes and round holes. Combi holes allow fixation with locking screws in the threaded section and cortex screws in the dynamic compression unit section for compression.
  • 2.7 mm Locking Volar Juxta Articular Distal Radius Plate 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.
  • 2.7 mm Locking Volar Juxta Articular Distal Radius Plate allow implant placement to address the individual fracture pattern.
  • Limited-contact surface reduces bone-to-plate contact and helps to preserve the periosteal blood supply.
  • Choice of different lengths of plate eliminates the need to cut plates.
  • Available in both Titanium and Stainless steel.
  • Locking plate increases construct stability, decreases risk of screw back-out and subsequent loss of reduction. It also reduces the need for precise anatomic plate contouring and minimizes the risk of stripped screw holes.
  • Polished surface and rounded edges minimize potential for tendon adhesion.
  • Low plate and screw profile minimizes potential for tendon and soft tissue irritation.
  • Smaller plates and screws address fracture fragments individually, with less overall implant bulk locking plate increases construct stability, decreases risk of screw back-out and subsequent loss of reduction.
  • A complete Instruments Set is available for 2.7 mm Locking Volar Juxta Articular Distal Radius Plate. General Instruments are available for this plate such as Plate Bending Press, Plate Holding Forceps, Plate Bending Pliers, Bone Holding Forceps, Bone Elevators, Bone Cutter, Bone Nibbler, Depth Gauge, Sleeve, Screw Driver, Trocar Sleeve etc.

Uses of 2.7 mm Locking Volar Juxta Articular Distal Radius Plate

2.7 mm Locking Volar Juxta Articular Distal Radius Plate is used or fixation of complex intra and extra-articular fractures and osteotomies of the distal radius and other small bones.

Benefits of 2.7 mm Locking Volar Juxta Articular Distal Radius Plate

  • 2.7 mm Locking Volar Juxta Articular Distal Radius Plate does not have to precisely contact the underlying bone in all areas. When screws are tightened, they “lock” to the threaded screw holes of the plate, stabilizing the segments without pulling the bone to the plate. Locking screws make it impossible for screw insertion to alter the reduction. Nonlocking plate/screw systems require a precise adaptation of the plate to the underlying bone. Without this close contact, tightening of the screws will pull the bone segments toward the plate, resulting in loss of reduction and possibly the occlusal relationship.
  • Locking plate/screw systems do not disrupt the underlying cortical bone perfusion as much as conventional plates, which compress the plate to the cortical bone.
  • Screws are unlikely to loosen from the plate. Similarly, if a bone graft is screwed to the plate, a locking head screw will not loosen during the phase of graft incorporation and healing. The possible advantage to this property of a locking plate/screw system is decreased risk of inflammatory complications due to hardware loosening.
  • Locking plate/screw systems have been shown to provide more stable fixation than conventional nonlocking plate/screw systems.
