The Locking Variable Angle Distal Radius Volar Plate (3–5 Holes, L & R) with Screws – Titanium (61 Pcs) is a specialized orthopedic fixation system designed to support internal fixation of selected distal radius fractures. The system combines left- and right-sided volar plates with variable-angle locking technology and compatible screws, providing surgeons with multiple options for stabilizing appropriately selected wrist fractures.
Distal radius fractures are among the most common upper-extremity fractures and can present with different patterns involving the metaphysis, articular surface, or surrounding structures. A dedicated volar distal radius plate provides a fixation option when volar plating is clinically appropriate. The left and right configurations are designed to accommodate the anatomical differences between the two sides of the wrist.
The system includes 3–5 hole plate configurations, providing multiple plate options for different fracture patterns and fixation requirements. Plate selection should be based on fracture morphology, patient anatomy, bone quality, reduction requirements, and the manufacturer’s recommended surgical technique.
A primary feature of this system is its variable-angle locking technology. Compatible screws can be positioned within the manufacturer’s specified angular range, allowing the surgeon to optimize screw trajectories for individual fracture fragments. This flexibility may be useful when targeting specific portions of the distal radius or avoiding critical anatomical structures while maintaining an appropriate locking connection.
The locking interface is designed to establish a stable relationship between the screw and plate. Correct screw selection, trajectory, and insertion are essential for achieving the intended mechanical performance. Only screws specifically designed and approved for the corresponding plate system should be used.
The plates are specified as being manufactured from Titanium. Titanium alloys are commonly used in orthopedic implants because of their favorable strength-to-weight characteristics, corrosion resistance, and established biocompatibility. The exact titanium alloy grade should be confirmed through the manufacturer’s technical documentation.
The 61-piece configuration provides a comprehensive selection of left- and right-sided plates and compatible screws. This can be beneficial for orthopedic hospitals, trauma centers, surgical facilities, and medical distributors that need multiple distal radius fixation options in one system.
Before implantation, each plate and screw should be carefully inspected for deformation, surface damage, corrosion, manufacturing defects, or compromised packaging. Implants should not be bent, modified, or otherwise altered unless specifically permitted by the manufacturer.
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 Variable Angle Distal Radius Volar Plate System is intended for use by qualified orthopedic and trauma surgeons trained in wrist fracture fixation. Surgical approach, plate selection, reduction, screw placement, and postoperative management should be determined according to patient anatomy, fracture characteristics, bone quality, and the manufacturer’s instructions for use.

FAQs
1. What is a distal radius volar plate used for?
A volar distal radius plate is designed to support internal fixation of selected distal radius fractures through a volar surgical approach.
2. What does variable-angle locking mean?
It allows compatible locking screws to be placed at different trajectories within the manufacturer’s specified angular range while maintaining a locking connection with the plate.
3. Are both left and right plates included?
Yes. The product specification states left- and right-sided configurations.
4. What plate sizes are available?
The system includes 3-, 4-, and 5-hole configurations.
5. How many pieces are included?
