Short Volar Distal Radius (VDR) Plate
Designed to treat intra-articular fractures, the plate can be implanted with a smaller incision compared to a standard volar plate.
Screw Placement
The Short Volar Plate uses column screws that help provide more fixation points over a shorter plate distance.
Universal Screws
All screw holes are universally designed to accept both 2.4 mm & 2.7 mm screws.
Variable Angle
The locking screw head is designed to sit below the plate surface even at end-range angles.
Variable locking angle ranges
- 2.4 mm screws: ±15 degrees
- 2.7 mm screws: ±10 degrees
Cannulated Variable Angle Screw
The cannulated double-lead locking compression screw is designed to capture dorsal fragments through a universal screw hole or as a compression screw outside of the plate.
Pronator Quadratus (PQ) Sparing VDR Plate
The PQ sparing plate allows for minimal dissection of the PQ muscle and accurate screw implantation using the spanning and bone centering drill guide. Screw placement is designed to help support the articular surface for simple to complex fractures.
