distal radius volar plate
The distal radius volar plate is a sophisticated orthopedic implant designed specifically for treating fractures in the distal radius, which is the lower end of the forearm bone. This advanced medical device consists of a anatomically contoured metallic plate and multiple locking screws that work together to provide stable fixation of fractured bone fragments. The plate is engineered with precision to match the natural anatomy of the volar surface of the radius, featuring pre-contoured angles and varying thickness profiles that optimize its fit and functionality. Its design incorporates multiple screw holes arranged in specific patterns to allow surgeons maximum flexibility in addressing different fracture patterns. The plate's low-profile construction minimizes soft tissue irritation while maintaining robust structural integrity. Advanced metallurgical techniques ensure biocompatibility and long-term stability, typically utilizing medical-grade titanium or stainless steel. The system includes both fixed-angle and variable-angle locking options, enabling surgeons to achieve optimal fracture reduction and fixation according to individual patient needs. This versatility makes it suitable for treating various types of distal radius fractures, from simple extra-articular breaks to complex intra-articular patterns.
