Hand & Wrist Acu-Loc Wrist Plating System Acumed Distal Radius Fracture Plating Solutions Fixation Products

To address the complications of a wide range of wrist fractures, fusions, and osteotomies, the Acumed Acu-Loc Wrist Plating System offers four titanium plate families. These anatomically contoured plates with precise screw positioning are designed to create a strong and stable construct to help restore the natural anatomy of the wrist bones.

An animated version of the suggested method for implanting the Acu-Loc Targeted Distal Radius Plate, designed to treat acute fractures, nonunions and malunions of the distal radius.

The Acumed Acu-Loc Volar Distal Radius (VDR) Plate has been a market leader since 2004. Designed to provide a more distal fit than many other volar plates, the Acu-Loc Volar Distal Radius (VDR) Plate offers an innovative solution for complex intra-articular distal radius fractures and osteotomies. The Acu-Loc instrumentation supplies surgeons with everything necessary to implant all of the distal radius and volar distal ulna plates. The system features clamps, retractors, and soft tissue protectors, as well as drivers, drills, and targeting assemblies.

Patient History: This is an 85 year-old, right hand dominant female who sustained a ground level fall on an outstretched hand. She sustained a Frykman IV, Melone class I closed distal radius fracture that had three intra-articular components. The ulnar column component was split transversely. The Frag-Loc Compression Screw was ideal for this type of fracture that is classified as unstable.
