Rounded edges & a smooth surface for soft tissue protection
2 distal screw rows
provide optimal support of the articular surface
•very distal plate positioning possible
• improved anatomical fit adapted to the volar aspect of the distal radius
• multidirectional angular stability of ± 20° in all directions in each screw hole
Drilling sleeves
are already provided into the screw holes to ensure safe and easy drilling
computational fluid dynamics (cfd)
a perfectly streamlined shape of the plate was obtained through computational fluid dynamics which is used in aerospace and automotive technologies. the design of plates ensures the flow lines follow a smooth trajectory, without abrupt changes in direction
PLATE FEATURES
Hook plate
specially made to prevent or treat nonunions at the ulnar styloid
Pointed hooks grip
the styloid process and act as reference point for plate application
Ulnar hook plate
pointed hooks grip the styloid process and act as reference point for plate application for capital and subcapital fractures and non-unions of the distal ulna
CLINICAL BENEFITS
watershed line enhances placement of the plate and reduces the risk of tendon irritations
first distal screw row for support of the central aspect of the radiocarpal joint
second distal screw row provides stabilization of the dorsal rim
CONTRAINDICATIONS
• Infection or inflammation (local or systemic)
• Allergies to the implant material
• Acute or chronic osteomyelitis at or close to the surgical field
• Insufficient soft tissue coverage
• Severe soft tissue swelling compromising normal wound healing
