Surgical treatment of the radius fracture with the radius plate 2.7 variable angle-stable
Almost all distal radius fractures can be surgically treated with the distal radius plate 2.7 for palmar plate osteosynthesis. The anatomical form of the plate in combination with its variable angle stability enable the stable treatment of all extra-articular and almost all intra-articular fractures without supplementary measures. In particular
in the case of intra-articular comminuted fractures, the variable angle stability creates excellent conditions for positioning the screws according to the individual fracture type.
The small holes in the plate can be used for preliminary insertion of Kirchner wires, which considerably facilitates the surgical procedure. With preliminary fixation with Kirschner wires, the position of the plate relative to the radius and the result of the reduction can be easily assessed with an image converter examination and corrected as necessary. Various plate lengths are available, each in two different widths at the distal end (23 mm and 27 mm).

Our distal radius plate 3.5 Classic as was the first angle-stable distal radius plate in the world. We developed it back in 2003 in collaboration with Dr Uwe Petereit, MD. Later on, it evolved into the variable angle-stable radius plates 3.5 Classic and Minor.
Distal radius plate 3.5 Classic vas – the precursor for the development of angle-stable implants.
Almost all distal radius fractures can be surgically treated with the distal radius plate 3.5 for palmar plate osteosynthesis. The anatomical form of the plate in combination with its angle stability and variable angle stability enable the stable treatment of all extra-articular and almost all intra-articular fractures without supplementary measures. The angle stability drastically reduces the risk of secondary loss of reduction.
The structural angle stability has the advantage that it induces a reduction to near-anatomical conditions in all cases. In the case of intra-articular comminuted fractures, the variable angle stability creates excellent conditions for positioning the screws according to the individual fracture situation. The implant can also be used with a narrower head width than the radius plate 3.5 Minor vas.
