Internal studies show having two distal radius plates with a 70-90˚ angle between them increases the stability of the construct and can address complex fractures that can be a challenge for a single plate. The Acumed decision to house this new addition in the Acu-Loc 2 Plating System tray provides quick and easy access to all implants and instruments needed. The complete Acu-Loc 2 System featuring the new Distal Radius Fragment Specific Plates and the Elbow Plating System will be on display at Acumed booth #701.

A new product demonstration workshop held by Acumed will provide attendees with an exclusive hands-on opportunity to learn about plate fixation of distal radius fractures including the features, benefits, and functionality of the new Acu-Loc 2 System, plus a special chance to explore the new Distal Radius Fragment Specific Plating System.

A second demonstration workshop will discuss the most current minimally invasive techniques for Scaphoid fixation presented by international expert Nicholas Goddard, FRCS. Following the lecture a hands-on lab will give attendees the opportunity to practice the latest techniques using the Acumed Acutrak™ 2 Headless Compression Screw System.

In addition to workshop labs, Acumed will be holding four in-booth lectures on distal radius fixation presented by lead surgeons William B. Geissler, M.D. and Daniel Brown, FRCS. iPad® learning platforms stationed in the Acumed booth presents the Acu-Loc 2 and Elbow Plating Systems in an interactive digital format. All Acumed product lines will be on display at the Acumed booth, along with the consulting surgeons and members of various Acumed design teams.
