Characteristics of radial column Locking Plate
1. The titanium plate near the palmar edge adopts polishing technology, greatly reducing stimulation to soft tissues
2. Double column fixation increases stability.
3. The middle area is convenient for observation.
4. The LCP extension hole facilitates the adjustment of the position of the bone plate.
5. The Kirschner pin hole is used for temporary bone fracture fixation of the bone plate.
The biomechanical characteristics of the distal radius and ulna are divided into three columns.
The radial column is composed of the navicular fossa and the radial styloid process, which bear about 40% of the axial load. Due to the presence of ulnar deviation angle, lateral shear fractures are easily caused by navicular impact. At this time, the best position for supporting steel plates should be on the radial side.
The middle column is composed of the lunar fossa and the semilunar notch of the radius, bearing approximately 40% of the axial load. It is the most important part of the distal end of the bone. Direct impact of the lunar bone can cause shear fractures on the dorsal and palmar sides, or result in free bone fragments on the joint surface, known as die punch injuries.
The ulnar column is composed of the styloid process of the ulna, TFCC, and the ulnar ligament of the wrist, bearing approximately 20% of the axial load.
Major function
1. To repair fractures, the distal radius lateral column locking plate can be used to repair fractures of the distal radius. By fixing the locking plate at the fracture site, stable support and fixation can be provided, promoting fracture healing.
2. Restore joint function, this locking plate can help restore normal joint function of the distal radius. It can provide stable support, prevent dislocation and displacement of the fracture site, and thus help restore normal joint movement.
3. To reduce complications, using a distal radius dorsal locking plate for fracture repair can reduce the occurrence of complications. Compared to traditional internal fixation methods, Locking Plates can provide more stable fixation, reduce displacement and dislocation of the fracture site, and reduce the risk of complications.
4. To improve the treatment effect, the use of the distal radius dorsal locking plate can enhance the treatment effect. It can provide better fracture fixation and stability, which helps with fracture healing. Meanwhile, it can also reduce surgical time and trauma, promoting patient recovery.
