Hand Fracture System Cadaveric Lab Part 2: Rolando Fracture Hook Plate
Professor Randy Bindra, MCh Orth, MS Orth, FRCS, demonstrates the approach and implantation of the Rolando Fracture Hook Plate, one of the specialty plates in the Acumed Hand Fracture System. The 1.3 mm Rolando Fracture Hook Plate is designed for a three-part fracture pattern at the base of the first metacarpal. Read More
Hand Fracture System Cadaveric Lab Part 3: Curved Medial Lateral Plate
Professor Randy Bindra, MCh Orth, MS Orth, FRCS, demonstrates the approach and implantation of the Curved Medial/Lateral Plate, one of the specialty plates in the Acumed Hand Fracture System. The Curved Medial/Lateral Plate is designed to address diaphyseal fractures and distal phalangeal fractures when a medial or lateral approach is preferred. Read More
Hand Fracture System Cadaveric Lab Part 4: Avulsion Hook Plate
This video demonstrates the approach and implantation of the Avulsion Hook Plate, one of the specialty plates in the Acumed Hand Fracture System. The 0.8 mm Avulsion Hook Plate is designed to provide more stability than a K-wire when a fragment is too small for a single lag screw. Read More

Distal Radius Fractures – Dr. Ruch : Part 1 : Proper Plate Placement and Fracture Fixation
David S. Ruch, M.D., Chief of Orthopaedic Hand Service at Duke University Medical Center, talks about the anatomy of the distal radius and why it precludes universal plate placement.
Distal Radius Fractures – Dr. Ruch : Part 2 : Priorities for reduction – Identify
David S. Ruch, MD, Chief of Orthopaedic Hand Service at Duke University Medical Center, discusses the importance of proper plate placement for fracture reduction on distal radius fractures.
Distal Radius Fractures – Dr. Ruch : Part 4 : Priorities for reduction – Verify
David S. Ruch, MD, Chief of Orthopaedic Hand Service at Duke University Medical Center, discusses the variety of complications that can exist when handling intra-articular fractures of the distal radius, including problems with reduction and over-reduction.
Distal Radius Fractures – Dr. Ruch : Part 3 : Priorities for reduction – Tips
David S. Ruch, MD, Chief of Orthopaedic Hand Service at Duke University Medical Center, provides tips for proper reduction and fixation of intra-articular fractures of the distal radius, including identifying the “critical corner” and establishing where you want your plate to sit on the proximal-distal aspect.
