The Dorsal Distal Radius Variable Angle Oblique L Plate with Screws is a specialized orthopedic implant system used for fixation of complex distal radius fractures involving the wrist joint. The dorsal placement provides strong support along the back side of the radius, making it highly suitable for unstable, intra-articular, and comminuted fracture patterns.
The oblique L-shaped plate design allows improved support for periarticular fracture fragments and enhanced fixation along anatomically challenging regions of the distal radius. This configuration helps maintain precise wrist alignment and stable reduction throughout the healing process.
The variable angle locking technology enables surgeons to insert locking screws at customized angles, allowing optimized screw placement based on fracture anatomy and bone quality. This provides greater flexibility during surgery and improves fixation in small or osteoporotic bone fragments.
The locking compression plate (LCP) mechanism creates a fixed-angle construct between the screws and plate, increasing stability, reducing the risk of screw loosening, and maintaining fracture reduction under physiological load conditions.
Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel or titanium (depending on configuration), the implant offers excellent strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term biocompatibility. Precision-machined screw holes ensure accurate placement and dependable surgical performance.
The low-profile anatomical design helps minimize tendon irritation and soft tissue complications while maintaining strong biomechanical support for wrist stabilization.
This system is widely used in orthopedic trauma surgery and veterinary orthopedic procedures for distal radius fracture management.
The set is fully sterilizable and supplied in professional surgical packaging for safe handling and efficient operating room workflow.
