Distal Radius Volar Oblique T-Type Locking Plate

Description

The Distal Radius Volar Oblique T-type Locking Plate is a titanium alloy internal fixation implant designed for the management of distal radius fractures via a volar (palmar) approach. Its oblique T-shaped configuration is anatomically contoured to match the volar surface of the distal radius, providing optimal support for the metaphyseal region and subchondral bone.
This locking plate system enables multi-directional screw placement through its T-type head, allowing effective fixation of small articular fragments. Combined with locking screw technology, it delivers angular stable fixation, which is essential for maintaining reduction and restoring wrist alignment in complex fracture patterns.

Advantages

Titanium alloy construction: High biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, and reliable mechanical strength
Volar oblique anatomical design: Optimized for volar approach, improving fit and reducing soft tissue irritation
T-type head configuration: Allows multiple screw trajectories for precise fixation of articular fragments
Locking screw system: Provides angular stability, especially beneficial in comminuted or osteoporotic fractures
Enhanced subchondral support: Helps maintain joint surface alignment and prevent collapse
Reduced intraoperative contouring: Pre-contoured design improves surgical efficiency

Application

Distal radius fractures (extra-articular and intra-articular)
Volar Barton fractures
Comminuted distal radius fractures
Intra-articular wrist fractures requiring precise reconstruction
Osteoporotic distal radius fractures
Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) via volar approach

FAQ

Q1: What is the advantage of the volar oblique design?
A1: It allows better anatomical fit on the volar surface of the distal radius and supports fixation of oblique fracture patterns.
Q2: Is this plate suitable for intra-articular fractures?
A2: Yes. It is commonly used for intra-articular distal radius fractures where stable fixation and joint alignment are required.
Q3: What material is used for this implant?
A3: The plate is made from medical-grade titanium alloy, ensuring strength, durability, and excellent biocompatibility.
