The MIfx™ Dorsal IM Plate is a low profile, minimally invasive solution for distal radius fracture treatment. It utilizes “tried and true” techniques borrowed from the worlds of hand surgery and general orthopaedic surgery like buttressing of fractures and intramedullary fixation to provide fracture reduction and stability.

The Dorsal IM Plate is anatomically contoured in left and right configurations. The distal head of the plate contains holes for use with 2.7mm diameter screws. The distal and proximal-ulnar screw holes are fixed angle locking and allow for lag screw fixation while the proximal-radial hole is spherical allowing for variable angle orientation of the screw. The screws are covered by a smooth CoverLoc™ sheath designed to reduce soft tissue abrasion and lock the distal and proximal-ulnar screws in their orientation. K-wires may also be used for additional fixation. The device narrows from the wider distal plate to a cylindrical, intramedullary stem. Rotation of the distal fragment is controlled by the shape of the proximal hook and the fluted intramedullary stem.
