The patented Intrafocal Pin Plate* is a low profile, minimally invasive solution for dorsally displaced, distal radius fracture treatment. A growing alternative to casting, it utilizes the “tried and true” buttressing technique of “intrafocal pinning” described by Kapandji to hold a small low profile Plate in a buttressing position with an intramedullary Pin.

 

Minimally Invasive Fixation uses a 1 cm incision to allow the surgeon to quickly create a stable construct while only using a Bier block anesthesia. Bysimply inserting the pin plate intrafocally the surgeonis able to seat the implant and reduce the fracture without all the complications of casting, external fixators or percutaneous pinning.
Small Plate Profile minimizes the soft-tissue abrasion concerns found in using standard plates while still providing the strength needed to maintain fragment stability. The implants come in one and two-hole configurations to provide the surgeon with multiple options.
Fragment Specific Design provides the surgeon with unparalleled intraoperative flexibility. Due to the small implant size, the device has multiple uses that allow simple and complex cases to be addressed. One and two-hole versions are offered for tailoring to anatomy.
