Abstract
Devices, systems, instruments, and methods for promoting healing and stability for bone fractures. The bone stabilization system may include a variety trauma plates and one or more bone fasteners configured to secure the plate to bone. The bone plates may be used for the fixation of fractures and fragments in the distal radius. The distal radius plating may be used to create a rigid construct with permanent fixation to promote primary healing and stability.
Claims9
A targeting guide system comprising:
- a volar distal radius plate having an elongated proximal shaft and an enlarged distal head extending therefrom, the enlarged distal head defines a tendon groove having a concave recess at a distal edge of the plate forming two rounded lobes on either side of the groove, the volar distal radius plate defines a plurality of fastener openings, guide wire holes, and an attachment opening;
- and
- a targeting guide configured to be disposed on the distal head of the volar distal radius plate having a plurality of cannulated openings corresponding to the respective fastener openings, and a retaining hole corresponding to the attachment opening;
- and
- an attachment screw threaded through the retaining hole and into the attachment opening, thereby temporarily securing the targeting guide to the volar distal radius plate.
