Distal Radius Locking Plate

Description

What is a Distal Radius Locking Plate?

A distal radius locking plate is a specially designed orthopedic implant used to stabilize and support the broken bone in the wrist. It’s made of metal, typically titanium or stainless steel, and is surgically fixed to the bone. The “locking” feature refers to how the screws are securely fixed into the plate,

Why Is It Important?

The wrist is a critical joint in daily activities, and fractures in this area can severely impact hand function. Using a distal radius locking plate offers greater stability and faster recovery, allowing patients to regain normal hand movement more quickly.

When Is a Distal Radius Locking Plate Used?

Types of Fractures Requiring a Locking Plate

• Displaced fractures: When the bone fragments have moved out of place.
• Comminuted fractures: When the bone breaks into multiple pieces.
• Intra-articular fractures: Fractures that extend into the wrist joint.
• Osteoporotic fractures: Fragile bone conditions due to aging or disease.

Candidates for Distal Radius Locking Plate Surgery

• Young, active patients who need to resume normal activities.
• Elderly patients with weakened bones, where traditional fixation methods might fail.
• People with high-risk jobs involving manual labor or sports where wrist strength is essential.
