FAROS A - Fixed Angle Radius Osteosynthesis for Acute Fractures

The new palmar radial plate (FAROS A) is an implant perfectly adapted to the anatomical conditions of the palmar distal radius, taking account of the radial inclination angle as well. Thanks to this perfect fit, it is possible to place the plate far distally from the fracture site for subchondral insertion of the fixed-angle screws.

The distal leg leaves room for three fixed-angle (locking) screws to be inserted subchondrally with the drill guide. Two additional fixed-angle screws can be used to stabilize further fragments where necessary. For the fixation of small fragments, cannulated screws are available. The repositioning result is maintained by the guide wires and can be left intact when fixing the plate in place. The guide wires of both the fixed-angle screws and the cannulated screws are used as joysticks.

Our cannulated screws allow primary K-wire fixation, thus facilitating the repositioning of comminuted fractures. At the same time, they fix small fragments in place.

Our fixed-angle (locking) screws guarantee excellent fixation and prevent any repositioning loss during the healing phase. The low plate profile, together with the palmar plate position, reliably prevents tendon irritations. The result is osteosynthesis that can withstand exercise, allowing immediate mobilization.
