The 2.7mm Variable Angle Distal Volar Plate with Screws, Instruments & Box is a specialized orthopedic fixation system designed to support surgical treatment of selected distal radius fractures and related wrist reconstruction procedures. The system combines a 2.7mm variable-angle distal volar plate with compatible fixation screws, dedicated surgical instruments, and a storage box, providing an organized solution for orthopedic trauma and upper-extremity surgery.
The distal volar plate is positioned along the volar surface of the distal radius to support fracture stabilization. Its variable-angle locking technology allows compatible locking screws to be inserted within an adjustable range of trajectories, providing the surgeon with greater flexibility when targeting specific fracture fragments. This feature can be particularly useful when the fracture pattern requires customized screw positioning rather than a single predetermined trajectory.
The 2.7mm system is intended for small-fragment orthopedic fixation. Proper implant selection should take into consideration the patient’s anatomy, fracture configuration, bone quality, radiographic findings, and surgical objectives. The surgeon determines the appropriate plate position, screw length, screw trajectory, and fixation strategy according to the individual case.
Variable-angle fixation can provide flexibility during distal radius fracture management because the surgeon can select screw trajectories that correspond more closely with the anatomy and fracture fragments. When the compatible plate and screw system is used correctly, the locking interface establishes a fixed-angle relationship between the screw and plate within the permitted variable-angle range. This should not be interpreted as eliminating the need for accurate plate positioning and appropriate surgical technique.
The included screws provide fixation options for securing the plate to the distal radius. Screw length and type should be selected according to the patient’s bone dimensions and the specific location of fixation. Appropriate drilling and measurement instruments are supplied to support preparation and screw insertion. Instrument-to-implant compatibility should always be verified before surgery.
The accompanying surgical instruments are intended to support essential stages of the fixation procedure, including drilling, depth measurement, plate positioning, and screw insertion. Precision instrument interfaces should be protected from unnecessary impact or excessive force. Before use, instruments should be inspected for damaged tips, worn threads, deformation, corrosion, or other conditions that could affect performance.
The included storage box provides organized containment for the plate, screws, and instruments. Proper organization can help the surgical team identify required components efficiently during procedure preparation. Implants and instruments should remain protected from contamination and physical damage during storage and handling.
After use, reusable instruments should be cleaned promptly to remove blood, tissue, bone debris, and other contaminants. Particular attention should be given to drill guides, screwdriver interfaces, threaded components, and other narrow or recessed areas. Instruments should then be inspected and processed according to validated manufacturer instructions.
Sterilization should be performed using an appropriate validated method for reusable surgical instruments. The healthcare facility’s established infection-control procedures and the manufacturer’s reprocessing instructions should always be followed. Proper cleaning, inspection, maintenance, and sterilization help preserve instrument function and support safe surgical practice.
The 2.7mm Variable Angle Distal Volar Plate with Screws, Instruments & Box provides an integrated orthopedic fixation solution for selected distal radius procedures. Its variable-angle locking design, compatible screws, dedicated instrumentation, and organized storage make it suitable for professional orthopedic trauma and wrist surgery workflows.

FAQs
What is a 2.7mm variable angle distal volar plate used for?
A 2.7mm variable-angle distal volar plate is designed for fixation of selected distal radius fractures and related orthopedic wrist procedures.
What is the advantage of variable-angle locking fixation?
Variable-angle locking technology allows compatible screws to be positioned within a specified range of trajectories, giving the surgeon flexibility when targeting individual fracture fragments.
Are screws included with this distal volar plate?
Yes. The set includes compatible screws along with the distal volar plate, surgical instruments, and storage box.
What does 2.7mm mean in this plate system?
The 2.7mm designation identifies the small-fragment fixation system and corresponds to the compatible implant, screw, and instrumentation specifications.
Can this plate be used for all distal radius fractures?
No. Implant selection depends on the fracture pattern, patient anatomy, bone quality, and surgical requirements. A qualified orthopedic surgeon should determine the appropriate fixation system.
What instruments are included with the plate?
The system includes dedicated instruments intended to support procedures such as drilling, depth measurement, plate positioning, and compatible screw insertion.
Why is variable-angle fixation useful in distal radius surgery?
It can provide flexibility in screw trajectory, allowing the surgeon to target selected fracture fragments while maintaining a locking connection with the plate within the manufacturer’s specified angular range.
Does the set include a storage box?
Yes. The system is supplied with a box designed to organize and store the included orthopedic plate, screws, and instruments.
How should the reusable instruments be sterilized?
Reusable instruments should be cleaned, inspected, and sterilized using validated procedures specified by the manufacturer and the healthcare facility’s infection-control protocol.
