Wrist Fusion Locking Plate | Total Wrist Arthrodesis Implant & Orthopedic Fixation | OrthoPro

Advanced Solution for Total Wrist Arthrodesis

At OrthoPro, we specialize in delivering high-performance orthopedic solutions to medical distributors and healthcare institutions worldwide. The Wrist Fusion Locking Plate is a specialized implant designed for the permanent stabilization of the wrist joint. This procedure, known as total wrist arthrodesis, is often the gold standard for relieving intractable pain caused by severe arthritis, trauma, or deformity.

Our orthopedic implant system is engineered to span the radiocarpal and midcarpal joints, extending from the distal radius to the third metacarpal. By providing rigid internal fixation, the Wrist Fusion Locking Plate eliminates painful motion while preserving the stability necessary for hand function.

Anatomical Design and Functional Positioning

One of the critical challenges in wrist fusion is maintaining the hand in a functional position. Our plate features a sophisticated anatomical design:

• Pre-Contoured Geometry: The plate is pre-bent to provide approximately 10° to 15° of dorsiflexion (extension). This angle is critical for maximizing the patient’s grip strength and hand mechanics post-surgery.
• Ulnar Deviation: The distal end of the plate incorporates a slight ulnar deviation to align naturally with the third metacarpal axis.
• Low-Profile Architecture: The dorsal surface of the plate is polished and features tapered edges to minimize irritation of the extensor tendons, a common concern in dorsal wrist surgery.

Locking Technology and Stability

The Wrist Fusion Locking Plate utilizes advanced locking screw technology to create a fixed-angle construct. This is particularly beneficial in patients with osteopenic bone, often seen in rheumatoid arthritis cases.

• Optimized Screw Clusters: The plate includes specific holes for fixation into the distal radius, the capitate (the keystone of the wrist), and the third metacarpal.
• Hybrid Hole Design: The combination holes allow surgeons to choose between locking screws for angular stability and cortical screws for compression, depending on the bone quality and fracture pattern.
• Capitate Fixation: A dedicated screw hole targets the capitate bone, ensuring robust central column stability.

Material Specifications and Manufacturing Quality

We manufacture our implants using premium medical-grade materials to ensure biocompatibility and longevity. The wrist fusion plate is available in:

Titanium Alloy (Ti-6Al-4V): Preferred for its high strength, light weight, and excellent biocompatibility. It also reduces artifacts in CT and MRI imaging.

Stainless Steel (316LVM): Offers superior stiffness and mechanical durability.

Clinical Indications

The **Wrist Fusion Locking Plate** is indicated for a variety of conditions where joint salvage is no longer possible, including:

• Post-Traumatic Arthritis: Severe degeneration following scaphoid non-unions or intra-articular fractures.
• Rheumatoid Arthritis: Advanced destruction of the carpal joints.
• SLAC/SNAC Wrist: Advanced Scapholunate Advanced Collapse or Scaphoid Non-union Advanced Collapse.
• Kienbock’s Disease: Late-stage avascular necrosis of the lunate.
• Failed Partial Arthrodesis: Revision of failed four-corner fusions or proximal row carpectomies.
