The Distal Radius Volar Variable Angle Locking Plates are advanced orthopedic fixation systems designed for the treatment of distal radius fractures involving the wrist joint. These plates are placed on the volar (palm-side) aspect of the radius and are anatomically pre-contoured to match the natural curvature of the bone, ensuring accurate fit, improved alignment, and stable fixation.
The variable-angle locking design allows surgeons to insert screws at multiple angles, providing flexibility in capturing fracture fragments that are difficult to align with standard fixed-angle plates. This improves fixation strength, especially in complex intra-articular and comminuted fractures.
The locking compression system enables the use of compatible locking screws, forming a fixed-angle construct that enhances stability and reduces the risk of screw loosening. This is particularly important in osteoporotic bone and high-stress wrist injuries.
Manufactured from premium surgical-grade titanium or stainless steel (depending on configuration), the implant offers excellent biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, and long-term mechanical durability. Precision-engineered screw holes ensure accurate placement and reliable surgical performance.
These plates are widely used in orthopedic trauma surgery, hand and wrist reconstruction, and veterinary orthopedic procedures involving distal radius fracture management.
The system is fully sterilizable and supplied in organized orthopedic packaging for safe handling and efficient operating room workflow.
