More Information
Summary:The fracture fixation plate (1) is suitable for application to the volar surface of a distal radius, wherein the fracture fixation plate (1) has an elongated body section (2) which has a free proximal end (3) and a distal end (4) on which an ulna head section (5) and a radius head section (6) connect, which diverge distally from one another, wherein the two head sections (5; 6) are each independently connected to the distal end (4) of the body section (2) via a corresponding neck section (51; 61), the body section (2) and the two head sections (5; 6) are provided with a number of threaded holes (7) for receiving bone securing elements (8) and the body section (2) also has an elongate compression hole (9), and the fracture fixation plate (1) has a bone contact surface (10) and an opposing surface (11). The bone contact surface (10) is designed such that it is convex in the region of the ulna head section (5) and the bone contact surface (10) is designed as a curved surface in the region of the radius head section (6).
