2.7 mm Locking Volar Extra Articular Distal Radius Plate 4 Head Holes Specification, Uses, Sizes & Surgical Instruments.
2.7 mm Locking Volar Extra Articular Distal Radius Plate 4 Head Holes Specification
- Plates available holes are 3, 4 and 5.
- Plates available for Left and Right both direction.
- Available in both Titanium and Stainless steel.
- 2.7 mm Locking Volar Extra Articular Distal Radius Plate 4 Head Holes is precontoured for anatomic fit of the volar aspect of the distal radius, so that plate placement is away from the articular surface. Extra-articular volar distal radius plates can be used for simple intra or extra-articular fractures. Diverging screw angles secure the radial styloid and other distal fragments.
- 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.
- 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.
- The shaft holes accept 2.7 mm locking screws in the threaded portion or 2.7 mm cortical screws in the compression portion. Locking holes in plate head accept 2.7 mm locking screws.
- Locking screws offer a fixed-angle construct to support the articular surface, reduce the need for bone graft, and obtain fixation in osteoporotic bone.
- Smaller plates and screws address fracture fragments individually, with less overall implant bulk.
- Rounded edges minimize potential for tendon adhesion.
- 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.
- Low plate-and-screw profile minimizes potential for tendon and soft tissue irritation.
- Locking screws offer a fixed-angle construct to support the articular surface, reduce the need for bone graft, and obtain fixation in osteoporotic bone.
- 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.
- A complete Instruments Set is available for 2.7 mm Locking Volar Extra 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.
2.7 mm Locking Volar Extra Articular Distal Radius Plate 4 Head Holes Uses
2.7 mm Locking Volar Extra Articular Distal Radius Plate 4 Head Holes is used or fixation of complex intra and extra-articular fractures and osteotomies of the distal radius and other small bones.
