Xpert Wrist

.

A complete range of volar plates with 3 head widths (narrow, standard, wide) has been developed to allow adapted screw positioning along the subchondral bone:

• Preformed plates following the watershed line for anatomical fit
• Slim profile and rounded edges limiting tendon contact
• Polyaxial or monoaxial locking technology
• Locked oblong peg technology (patented)
• Window for better visualization of the fracture line or insertion of bone substitute

Sizes XS, 1, 2, and 4 are available in sterile single-use version: INITIAL R XPERT 2.4

The volar plate size 3 (narrow, standard, wide) is distinguished by its two pre-oriented locked monoaxial pegs, designed to reach the tip of the radial styloid and fix small fragments:

• 2 pre-oriented locked monoaxial pegs targeting the radial styloid to reduce small fragments and support the radial column
• Preformed plate following the watershed line for anatomical fit
• Slim profile and rounded edges limiting tendon contact
• Locked oblong peg technology (patented)

• Window for better visualization of the fracture line or insertion of bone substitute

Size 3 is available in sterile single-use version: INITIAL R XPERT 2.4

A complete range of VOLAR RIM plates with 3 head widths (narrow, standard, wide) has also been specifically developed for extra-distal fractures:

• Lateral lip facilitating implant positioning on the watershed line
• Preformed plates for anatomical fit
• Polyaxial or monoaxial locking technology
• Locked oblong peg technology
• Window for better visualization of the fracture line or insertion of bone substitute

VOLAR RIM plates are available in sterile single-use version: INITIAL R XPERT 2.4

A complete range of specific plates has been designed to treat complex distal radius fractures, fragment by fragment:

• Dorso-medial plates (3 extra-narrow head sizes and 1 standard head size)
• Dorso-lateral plates (1 size)
• Distal radial column plates (3 sizes)
• Latero-dorsal radial column plates (3 sizes)
• Radial palmar plates (2 sizes) with two pre-oriented monoaxial locked pegs toward the radial styloid

These FRAGMENT SPECIFIC plates are available in sterile single-use version: INITIAL R XPERT 2.4 – Fragment Specific.

To complete our offer and provide a comprehensive solution for the treatment of complex distal radius fractures, we offer hook plates:

• Anterior hook plates (1 symmetrical size and 1 left and right size):
  • Possible assembly of an anterior hook plate with a radial palmar plate to reach the radial styloid
• Posterior hook plate (1 symmetrical size)

Distal ulna plates are offered in 2 sizes and provide a treatment solution for fractures of the head, neck, and distal diaphysis of the ulna:

• Preformed plates for anatomical fit
• Polyaxial or monoaxial locking technology
• Locked oblong peg technology (patented)
• Anterolateral positioning ensured by an anterior tab
• Hook facilitating plate positioning on the ulnar styloid
• Bending zones to achieve the desired fit if needed

Distal ulna plates are available in sterile single-use version: INITIAL R XPERT 2.4 – Fragment Specific.

Specific features of the osteotomy plate, size 2:

• 2 locked oblong pegs allowing adjustment of the plate positioning with a locked or non-locked screw.
• Compatible with PSI

Specific instruments for this plate:

• Distraction clamp to adjust ulnar variance
• Drilling guide for the distraction clamp

The osteotomy plate and instruments are not included in the Xpert Wrist kit, they are ordered separately.

Spanning plates provide a provisional internal fixation solution for complex distal radius fractures, especially highly comminuted ones or for elderly patients with poor bone quality:

• Symmetrical plates designed for the second or third metacarpal
• Anatomical design following the curvature of the radial diaphysis
• Rounded edges, smooth surface, and slim profile especially on the distal part of the plate to protect soft tissues
• Locked and non-locked screws of 2.4 mm distally and 3.5 mm proximally
• Oblong pegs for plate adjustment

Two designs and two plate sizes to fit different patient anatomies and meet surgical needs:

• Curved plates at 12° for a neutral hand position
• Straight plates

The K-Lock is a pin locking fixation system on the plate, designed to secure unstable fragments or fragments too small to be fixed with locked screws. The pin locks directly into the plate using a nut. This locked pin system stabilizes small fragments without requiring drilling, which can cause harmful micro-fractures induced by vibrations.

Patented technology, the K-Lock is compatible with all plates in the Xpert Wrist range, whether Volar or Fragment Specific.

The K-Lock system instruments are available in the following configurations:

• Complete Xpert Wrist kit (3 tiers)
• Optional Xpert Wrist kit

The Xpert Wrist range also offers instrumentation dedicated to the treatment of intra-articular distal radius fractures.

The Stepwise technique is a fragment-by-fragment reduction method, including intra-articular fragments, which can be performed under arthroscopic control using dedicated instrumentation:

• Short and long pin guides
• Instruments and cannulated screws

How to use the instrumentation?

• Reduction and fixation of fragments with pins, using short or long guides depending on the pin length
• One-by-one replacement of the pins with cannulated screws or locking nuts (K-Lock system)
