Product Description
The distal ulna is an essential component of the distal radioulnar joint, which helps provide rotation to the forearm. The distal ulnar surface is also an important platform for stability of the carpus and the hand. Unstable fractures of the distal ulna therefore threaten both movement and stability of the wrist. The size and shape of the distal ulna, combined with the overlying mobile soft tissues, make application of standard implants difficult. The 2.4 mm Distal Ulna Plate is specifically designed for use in fractures of the distal ulna.
Anatomically contoured to fit the distal ulna
Low profile design helps reduce soft tissue irritation
Accepts both 2.7 mm locking and cortex screws, providing angular stable fixation
Pointed hooks aid in reduction of the ulnar styloid
Angled locking screws allow secure fixation of the ulnar head
Multiple screw options allow a wide range of fracture patterns to be securely stabilized
Available sterile only, in stainless steel and titanium

Wrist fractures are a common injury that can cause significant pain and impair daily activities. In the past, treatment options for these fractures have been limited, often requiring lengthy recovery periods and leaving patients with permanent loss of function. However, advances in orthopedic technology have led to the development of the VA Distal Medial Radius Locking Plate, a new solution that offers improved outcomes for patients with wrist fractures.
Understanding the anatomy of the wrist is crucial in diagnosing and treating wrist fractures. The wrist joint is made up of eight bones, including the radius, ulna, and carpal bones. The radius is the larger of the two forearm bones and is the most commonly fractured bone in the wrist.
In the past, treatment options for wrist fractures included casting, splinting, and external fixation. While these methods can be effective for some patients, they often result in a long recovery period and limited mobility. Additionally, they may not be suitable for patients with severe fractures or other underlying conditions.
The VA Distal Medial Radius Locking Plate is a new solution for wrist fractures that offers several advantages over traditional treatment methods. The plate is designed to fit on the medial aspect of the distal radius, providing stable fixation and allowing for early range of motion. The locking mechanism also minimizes the risk of plate migration or screw loosening, reducing the need for further surgery.
There are several advantages to using the VA Distal Medial Radius Locking Plate for wrist fractures. These include:
Improved stability and fixation
Early range of motion
Reduced risk of complications
Faster recovery time
Improved functional outcomes
The surgical technique for implanting the VA Distal Medial Radius Locking Plate involves a small incision on the medial aspect of the wrist. The plate is then placed on the distal radius, and screws are inserted through the plate and into the bone. The locking mechanism ensures stable fixation, and the incision is closed with sutures or staples.
Recovery and rehabilitation after VA Distal Medial Radius Locking Plate surgery is typically faster than traditional treatment methods. Patients may begin range of motion exercises shortly after surgery, and full recovery can be expected within a few months. Physical therapy may also be recommended to improve strength and function.
While the VA Distal Medial Radius Locking Plate has been shown to be a safe and effective treatment for wrist fractures, there are some potential complications to be aware of. These include:
Infection
Screw loosening
Plate migration
Nerve damage
Complex regional pain syndrome
The VA Distal Medial Radius Locking Plate is a new solution for wrist fractures that offers improved outcomes for patients. Its stable fixation, early range of motion, and reduced risk of complications make it a promising alternative to traditional treatment methods.
How long does it take to recover from VA Distal Medial Radius Locking Plate surgery?
Recovery time varies by patient, but full recovery can be expected within a few months.
What is the surgical technique for VA Distal Medial Radius Locking Plate surgery?
The surgical technique involves a small incision on the medial aspect of the wrist, followed by placement of the plate on the distal radius and insertion of screws through the plate and into the bone.
How does the VA Distal Medial Radius Locking Plate compare to traditional treatment methods for wrist fractures?
The VA Distal Medial Radius Locking Plate offers several advantages over traditional methods, including improved stability and fixation, early range of motion, and reduced risk of complications.
Is physical therapy necessary after VA Distal Medial Radius Locking Plate surgery?
Physical therapy may be recommended to improve strength and function after surgery.
