IPS® Radius Reconstruction

In some cases, malunions can occur following distal radius fracture treatments. This can lead to reduced strength, pain and decreased mobility. Similar limitations can be seen in congenital malposition cases.

In addition to standard fracture and reconstruction plates, KLS Martin offers patient-specific solutions for distal radius reconstructions. Anatomical drilling and marking guides facilitate precision of the corrective osteotomy. Patient specific titanium implants help to maintain or achieve anatomic alignment, and facilitate proper healing after the corrective osteotomy. The plates are fixed by smartDrive standard and locking screws, with minimal instrumentation required for implantation.

IPS® Gate simplifies the planning and design process through a streamlined workflow from data upload to delivery. Interactive chat functions with KLS engineers and case status visibility provide the user with a flexible and efficient experience.

Patient specific implants are designed based on individual CT data. Advanced production methods allow for implant designs that are unique to each patient’s specific needs.

Patient specific models, drill and marking guides, and implants bring the virtual planning to life. The models serve as a visual aid, while the guides help to translate the plan to the patient anatomy with final alignment ensured by the patient specific plate.

Case examples

IPS Implants® Radius Reconstruction | Case study 1

Treatment of a distal radius malunion, tilted to dorsal, with an extra-articular radius reconstruction and shift of the distal segment to volar and ulnar.

IPS Implants® Radius Reconstruction | Case study 2

Treatment of a distal radius malunion tilted to dorsal with an extra-articular radius reconstruction including an opening wedge osteotomy.

IPS Implants® Radius Reconstruction | Case study 3

Treatment of a distal radius malunion with an extra-articular radius reconstruction.
The distal segment was lengthened and rotated ulnar. An 8 to 18 mm large iliac crest bone graft was harvested and inserted into the gap.

IPS Implants® Radius Reconstruction | Case study 4

Treatment of a distal radius malunion with an intra-articular radius reconstruction with three distal segments rotated to ulnar. All three marking osteotomies were incorporated into one single guide
