Introduction to the Variable Angle Distal Radius Plate Implant
A variable angle distal radius plate is very particularly engineered under the expertise for stable fixation of the distal radius fracture, which is also known as the wrist fracture. The very unique design of this implant makes it possible for the variable angle screw to be placed in a manner that renders the needed stability during the surgical procedure. The plate and screws are made up of resilient and bio compatible materials, stainless steel and titanium. These two choices of implant materials make them adaptable to the internal tissue structures resulting in better durability.
The angled contour of the distal radius plate allows it to properly align with the distal radius bone. It helps in a smooth recovery process by promoting quick healing and reducing any type of soft tissue irritation. The minimal projection of this implant also ensures that there is no chance of any prominence in the structure after the surgery.That is why; our variable angled distal radius plate is an appropriate choice for the patients and surgeons.
Indications of Variable Angle Distal Radius Plates
Every orthopedic implant that we manufacture is designed as per the orthopedic science behind that particular bone structure and its functionality. Likewise, this variable angle distal radius plate is also engineered to address different requirements of the distal radius bone fractures or deformities. It provides our clients of orthopedic surgeons with an ideal solution for support and stability to the bone.
- Fracture Treatment of Distal Radius Bone: Variable angle distal radius plate is primarily indicated for the treatment of the intra-articular andextra-articular fracture of the distal radius bone. The implant is also used for fractures that can’t be reduced properly or are unstable and show severe articular displacement.
- Indicated for Other Bone-Related Conditions: It is also recommended to treat osteotomies and other deformities of the distal radius.
- Indicated for Different Age Groups: The implant can be used for both adult and adolescent patients who have a matured skeletal system, promising effective treatment results to different age groups.
- Addresses Complex Fractures: Many of the orthopedic surgeons use these plate and screw implants for treating complex patterned fractures of the wrist bone.It helps in sturdy and stable fixation allowing surgeons to take a personalized approach for every fracture pattern.
- Better Substitute to Traditional Fracture Treatment: The variable angle distal radius plate is indicated for those fracture cases that cannot be treated by traditional methods. The distal radius plates are a reliable solution for fractures that demand precision and no soft tissue irritation.
Key-features of Our Variable Angle Distal Radius Plates
Now, we shall discuss in detail the features of our variable angle distal radius plate that make it effective for promoting better recovery and outcomes.
· High Bio compatibility
Manufactured with the bestimplant materials available in the market, which include titanium and stainlesssteel, these plates and screws are biologically suitable. They ensurelong-termsafe implantation which reduces any type of adverse reactions andpromises a successful outcome.
· Contoured Anatomy
The plate is designed veryprecisely with proper contours and prominences provided at the points thatmatch the natural shape of a distal radius bone. This anatomical design allowsthe variable angle implant to fit properly, which improves stability and alsopromises no irritation to the surrounding soft tissue.
· Variable Angle Technology
· This feature provides multiple angles in theplates for screws that can be placed as per different geometric patterns. Thesurgeons can choose the appropriate angle trajectory for every screw ensuring aproper fixation as per the anatomy of the patient’s distal radius bone.
· Combi Holes
The plate includes a setofcombi holes which allow the placement of both compression and locking screws.

Advantages of Surgical Placement of Variable Angle Distal Radius Implant
ü Better Flexibility during Surgical Procedures
The surgeons can always adjust the screw angles as per the individual distal radius’s anatomy for a tailored approach to implant placement.
ü Promotes Implant Stability
The distal radius angle screw provides excellent stability to the fractured wrist bone. It reduces the displacement caused by any type of movement after surgery. The orthopedic pins and wires can be used with these plates before adding multiple screws.
ü Higher Patient Satisfaction
The majority of the patients who have undergone treatment with the variable angle distal radius plate report good satisfaction rates due to minimal pain and inconvenience.
ü Quicker Recovery
Proper fixation of the variable angle plate and screw helps the patients get back to their normal routine.
ü Lesser Chances of Complications
The low profile and anatomically contoured plate ensure that there is no hardware projection irritating the surrounding internal tissue structures.
Precautions Before the Use of Variable Angle Distal Radius Plate & Screw Implant
An orthopedic surgeon and their team of experts must go through the entire information related to the variable angle distal radius plate, before using it for the surgery. You can begin by reviewing the product safety information, expiry date, manufacturing date,product description, surgical brochures, and any other accompanying document.Getting a complete idea of all these materials allows you to ensure that the implant is safe and effective to use.
A variable angle distal radius plate is designed with precision using medical-quality implant materials for successful results. However, the application process also contributes to its optimal performance after the surgery. Thus, healthcare professionals need to adhere to the product instructions for better results and no complications.
Any type of negligence can lead to implant failures, such as loosening of implants and infection in the long term.Thus, the surgeon and patient must be very clear about the dos and don’ts of the pre and postoperative surgery. Additionally, it is important to ensure the entire team of medical experts involved is aware of the products and their specifications properly for satisfactory outcomes and patient safety.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) Related to The Variable Angle Distal Radius Plates:
- Can the variable angle distal radius plate last for a long time?
Yes, this orthopedic implant for the wrist bone can be safely used for long-term use, It is made up of high-quality quality medically compatible materials that are designed to reduce adverse effects and promise long-term results.
- What are the complications of a distal radius implant surgery?
The major reported complications that can happen in a patient with variable angle distal radius plate surgery include tendon rupture, nerve dysfunction, tendonitis, and implant failure. However,these cases occur only when the surgical measures are not taken properly, or,if there is any lag in patient management after surgery.
- When should the distal radius fracture be reduced?
The displaced fracture is reduced before being placed in the splint. An open reduction is done under the effects of local anesthesia, which causes less to no pain in the affected area.
- Which nerve damage happens in case of a distal radius fracture?
There are higher chances of the ulnarn ever damage associated with the wrist bone fracture. It can be damaged due tothe sharp edges of a fractured radius bone, gets trapped into the radioulnar joint during fracture, or can get displaced from its location to the dorsal side of the ulnar bone.
- Can I get back to my normal activities after the variable angle distal radius plate surgery?
Yes, you can get back to your daily routine after the surgery is performed. There might be swelling and pain immediately after the surgical procedure. However, these signs shall subside after two to three days. Also, make sure to not move your operated wrist until the doctor advises.
