Abstract
A radial inclination volar angle restoration plate includes a shank and a window portion. The plate also includes holes for accepting bone fasteners, as well as holes for accepting respective pegs from distal and radial pads. The pads are engageable with the plate via the pegs and can guide an osteotome extending through a window of the window portion to help reduce a bone fracture. The plate, fasteners, pads, and/or osteotome may be included together in a kit.
Claims23
A device, comprising:
- a shank defining a proximal-distal dimension and formed with plural longitudinally-spaced holes for accepting respective bone fasteners;
- a window portion made integrally with the shank and extending distally away from a distal end of the shank, the window portion defining a dorsal surface and a volar surface opposite the dorsal surface, the window portion defining an ulna-radius dimension generally perpendicular to the proximal-distal dimension, the window portion comprising an ulnar wall and a radial wall opposite the ulnar wall, at least the radial wall tapering radially from the distal end of the shank, a cross-member connecting distal ends of the radial and ulnar walls to form a window with an endless periphery between the radial and ulnar walls and the cross-member, the cross-member being wider in the ulna-radius dimension than the shank;
- a first proximal pad configured for removable engagement with the shank;
- and
- a first distal pad configured for removable engagement with the window portion;
- wherein the first proximal pad while removably engaged with the shank and the first distal pad while removably engaged with the window portion together form an opening through which an osteotome is extendable while the osteotome concurrently extends through the window itself.

A method, comprising:
- providing a device comprising a shank defining a proximal-distal dimension and comprising a window portion made integrally with the shank, the window portion extending distally away from a distal end of the shank, the window portion defining a window with an inner periphery, the window portion configured for extension of an osteotome through the window during fracture reduction, the device further comprising a first proximal pad configured for removable engagement with the shank and comprising a first distal pad configured for removable engagement with the window portion, wherein the first proximal pad while removably engaged with the shank and the first distal pad while removably engaged with the window portion together form an opening through which the osteotome is extendable while the osteotome concurrently extends through the window itself;
- securing the shank and window portion of the device to a patient via one or more fasteners;
- and
- removing the first proximal pad and first distal pad respectively from the shank and window portion.

- and
- a second pad configured for removable engagement with the window portion;
- wherein the first pad while removably engaged with the shank and the second pad while removably engaged with the window portion together form an opening through which an osteotome is extendable while the osteotome concurrently extends through a window formed by the window portion.
