2025 marks the beginning of a stepwise extension of the current Ixos® portfolio. Building on distal radius research over the past decades, our development team of international experts in hand surgery set out to create a new generation of anatomical distal radius plates.

To cover the wide range of patients that are encountered in clinical practice, the P4 and P4 Wave plates are now available in different widths, spanning from 19 mm to 27 mm.  

We created the P4 Wave+ plate as a result of our experience in radius and forearm malunion treatment. It is designed to address distal radius fractures that extend into the epiphyseal and metaphyseal area. By fusing numerous different custom-made plate designs, the plate mirrors the 3D shape of the forearm with its bend and twist. The P4 Wave+ plates are available in lengths ranging from 95 mm to 182 mm.  

The P6 and P6 Hook plates combine the best of both the P4 and the P4 Wave. Like the P4 Wave+, we designed the plates using IPS® data to create an advanced plate based on real patients’ anatomical variety. 

Their wing-shaped 3D design addresses both the ulnar as well as the radial side of the bone. Extending further distally as any other plates in the portfolio, they can be used to treat even the most challenging cases.  

The P6 Hook plates feature an anatomically pre-shaped hook on the ulnar side and can be equipped with 1.5 mm self-drilling screw to catch tricky volar rim fragment.
