The Dorsal Locking Distal Radius Variable Angle Straight Plate – 5–8 Holes with Screws – 42 Pcs is a specialized orthopedic fixation system designed to support internal fixation of selected distal radius fractures. The system combines dorsal straight locking plates with variable-angle technology and compatible screws, providing surgeons with multiple options for stabilizing appropriately selected wrist fractures.
Distal radius fractures vary considerably in location, morphology, displacement, and degree of joint involvement. A dedicated dorsal distal radius locking plate can provide a fixation option when dorsal stabilization is clinically appropriate. The straight plate configuration is designed to provide a longitudinal fixation profile along the dorsal aspect of the distal radius.
The system includes 5–8 hole plate configurations, offering different plate lengths to accommodate varying fracture patterns and fixation requirements. Plate selection depends on fracture location, the amount of bone available for fixation, patient anatomy, bone quality, and the surgeon’s preferred fixation strategy.
A key feature of this system is its variable-angle locking technology. Compatible locking screws can be positioned at different trajectories within the manufacturer’s specified angular range. This provides greater flexibility when targeting individual fracture fragments or optimizing screw placement compared with a fixed-angle locking construct. The permitted angulation and exact locking mechanism should always be verified against the manufacturer’s instructions.
The compatible screws engage with the plate’s locking holes to create a stable screw-plate interface. Correct screw selection and placement are essential for achieving the intended mechanical performance. The surgeon should use only screws specifically designed and approved for the corresponding plate system.
The 42-piece configuration provides multiple plates and screws in a single orthopedic fixation system. This can be particularly useful for hospitals, orthopedic trauma centers, surgical facilities, and medical distributors that require several plate configurations for different distal radius fracture patterns.
Before implantation, each plate and screw should be inspected for damage, deformation, corrosion, surface defects, or compromised packaging. The plate should not be bent or modified unless specifically permitted by the manufacturer. Only compatible instruments and screws should be used with the implant.
Implantable plates and screws are generally intended for single-patient use. Used, damaged, or compromised implants should not be reused or reprocessed for implantation unless explicitly authorized by the manufacturer.
The Dorsal Variable Angle Distal Radius Plate System is intended for use by qualified orthopedic and trauma surgeons trained in wrist fracture fixation. Surgical approach, fracture reduction, plate selection, screw trajectory, fixation technique, and postoperative care should be determined based on patient anatomy, fracture morphology, bone quality, and the manufacturer’s surgical technique.
This 42-piece system provides a practical solution for professional facilities seeking a variable-angle dorsal distal radius locking plate set with multiple plate lengths and compatible fixation screws.

FAQs
1. What is a dorsal distal radius locking plate used for?
It is designed to support internal fixation of selected distal radius fractures through dorsal plate placement.
2. What does variable-angle locking mean?
Variable-angle locking allows compatible screws to be positioned at different trajectories within the manufacturer’s specified angular range while maintaining a locking connection with the plate.
3. What plate sizes are included?
The system includes 5-, 6-, 7-, and 8-hole configurations according to the stated product specification.
4. How many pieces are in the set?
The complete system contains 42 pieces, including plates and compatible screws.
5. Are screws included?
Yes. The product title specifies plates with screws, with the complete configuration containing 42 pieces.
6. What material are the implants made from?
The exact material is not specified in the product title. The plate and screw material should be confirmed with the manufacturer before clinical use.
7. Can the plates and screws be reused?
No. Implantable plates and screws are generally intended for single-patient use unless the manufacturer explicitly permits otherwise.
8. Who should use this plate system?
It is intended for qualified orthopedic and trauma surgeons trained in distal radius fracture fixation and familiar with the manufacturer’s surgical technique.
