Successful Distal Radius Fracture Surgery in Mexico — Using CZMEDITECH VA Locking Plate System

Case Overview

At Tlalixtac de Cabrera State Hospital, Mexico, a distal radius fracture surgery was successfully performed using a VA Distal Radius Locking Plate provided by CZMEDITECH, a leading orthopedic implant manufacturer from China.

The operation, led by Dr. José Alfredo Rios Melchor, achieved precise anatomical alignment and rapid patient recovery — highlighting how modern trauma fixation systems are improving outcomes across Latin America.

Case Description

A 53-year-old patient sustained a radius fracture near the wrist after a fall. The medical team opted for internal fixation using a variable angle distal radius locking plate, ensuring anatomical reduction and early mobilization.

Clinical Insight: The Importance of Distal Radius Locking Plate Fixation

Distal radius fractures are among the most common upper-limb injuries worldwide. Stable fixation with a variable angle distal radius plate is critical to maintain wrist motion and prevent postoperative complications.

The CZMEDITECH VA Locking Plate System offers optimized screw trajectory, high pull-out strength, and compatibility with minimally invasive surgical techniques. It's widely used for osteoporotic bone, comminuted fractures, and post-traumatic deformity correction.

By integrating precision engineering and biocompatible titanium, CZMEDITECH provides reliable solutions for orthopedic surgeons globally, bridging the gap between cost-effective and high-performance implants.

Global Perspective — Orthopedic Innovation Across Latin America

The success of this case in Mexico reflects a growing collaboration between Chinese orthopedic manufacturers and Latin American hospitals.

With CE and ISO 13485 certification, CZMEDITECH orthopedic implants are trusted in over 50 countries, including Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, and Chile.

Their trauma fixation systems, such as locking compression plates (LCP) and intramedullary nails, are designed to meet global clinical demands while maintaining affordable pricing for hospitals and distributors.

The Rising Demand for Orthopedic Implants in Mexico

Mexico and other Latin American regions are witnessing rapid growth in orthopedic surgeries — especially distal radius fracture fixation and wrist trauma cases.

Hospitals are increasingly choosing locking plate technology because it enables strong fixation, early rehabilitation, and reliable outcomes.

This trend demonstrates the adoption of Chinese orthopedic products in international trauma markets, reinforcing CZMEDITECH's role as a trusted partner for surgical innovation.
