3 DePuy Synthes Distal Radius Plate Instrument and Implant Set Surgical Technique
Implants
(stainless steel and titanium)
1.8 mm Buttress Pin
•
For use in the distal plate arms in multifragmented
articular fractures, or in poor quality bone
where screw purchase may be compromised
•
Threaded head locks into plate hole to
provide a fixed pin-plate construct and
a buttress for the articular surface
•
Smooth shaft inserts into bone without
displacing fragments
2.4 mm Self-Tapping Cortex Screw
•
For use in the distal plate arms to
provide fixation for restoration of the
articular surface
•
Used when bone quality is good,
lag screw technique is required,
or large fragments of poor quality
bone are present
•
Small cruciform head provides a low
profile when seated into the plate hole
2.7 mm Self-Tapping Cortex Screw
•
For use in the proximal plate legs
•
Standard self-tapping screws also available
