Wrist procedures and surgical techniques.
Wrist fractures are among the most common upper limb fractures, primarily affecting older adults with osteoporosis from low-energy trauma and metaphyseal fractures, as well as younger adults with high-energy trauma and more complex fractures.
In recent years, the principles of treatment of these fractures have been widely questioned and require an anatomical reduction followed by rehabilitation and early mobilization, with a virtual absence of immobilization. The standard treatment is now surgical in the majority of cases. Osteosynthesis by locked anatomical plate tends to become a standard, particularly when treating the most complex fractures, in order to obtain a stable anatomical reduction and prevent joint incongruence responsible for post-traumatic osteoarthritis. These specific treatments, which are adapted to the type of fracture, the patient’s anatomy, and with respect for the surrounding tissues are possible thanks to our extremely varied range, which allows for the use of both volar and dorsal approaches.
The majority of our implants are also available in sterile single-use kits: INITIAL Solutions.
All these solutions can be combined with personalized cutting guides, allowing realignment osteotomies to be performed following malunions or malformations.
