Multi-axial Radius Medial Locking Plate is an orthopedic implant used for the treatment of distal radius fracture surgery.
Surgical indications for plate internal fixation of distal radius fractures
1. Closed reset failed
2. Unstable fractures with palmar displacement, such as Smith's or Barton's fractures (B3 type)
3. Open fractures that require direct visual reduction
4. Patients with carpal tunnel syndrome
5. Old fractures or malunion
Should palmar or dorsal steel plates be used for internal fixation of distal radius fractures?
1. The mechanism of fracture injury is the direction of displacement.
If palmar displacement occurs, use a palmar steel plate.
3. If there is a dorsal displacement, a dorsal steel plate can be used, or a palmar approach palmar steel plate (preferably a locking steel plate) can be used.
Advantage
1. Can simultaneously fix the supporting surface of the radial styloid process and lunar bone, as well as the distal radioulnar joint
2. The slender combination hole allows for axial, left and right adjustment of the bone plate and allows for locking or pressurization
3. Adopting a double column design, the head screws are fixed with universal screws
4. Window helps to see the fracture line and allows for bone grafting
5. K's pinhole is used for temporary fixation
It helps stabilize the fracture site and promote fracture healing by fixing it on the palmar side of the distal radius. This locking plate has a multi axis design, which can provide better support and fixation, helping to restore the function and stability of the damaged area. The use of a multi axis distal radius palmar locking plate for surgical treatment can effectively reduce patient pain and recovery time, and improve the success rate of surgical treatment.
