Wrist Our solutions for wrist fractures

Wrist surgery and techniques 

Wrist fractures are among the most frequent fractures of the upper limb, particularly affecting elderly osteoporotic subjects with low-energy trauma and metaphyseal fractures. They also affect young people with high-energy trauma and more complex fractures ⁽¹⁾. In recent years, the principles of management of these fractures have been widely questioned and require anatomical reduction followed by early rehabilitation and mobilisation, with almost no immobilisation ⁽²⁾. Surgical treatment by locking plating system is considered as a reference treatment. Osteosynthesis by locking anatomical plates has become a standard. Particularly in the treatment of the most complex fractures in order to obtain a stable anatomical reduction and to prevent the joint incongruence responsible for post-traumatic arthrosis. These specific treatments adapted to the type of fracture and to patient’s anatomy are possible thanks to our extremely varied range allowing the realization of palmar, as well as dorsal approaches.

The majority of our implants are also available in single-use sterile kits: Initial Solutions.

All these solutions can be combined with patient-specific cutting guides, allowing for re-axation osteotomies following malformations or malunions.
