VA LCP Distal Radius System ® Advancing the Treatment of Distal Radius Fractures

A Long History in Advancing Treatment of Distal Radius Fractures As a leader in plating technology, Synthes launched its first locking distal radius plates in the 1990’s. Since that time, more than 2 million DePuy Synthes distal radius plates have been implanted 1. Founded on this strong clinical heritage, today’s DePuy Synthes distal radius portfolio covers every corner of the distal radius anatomy with one complementary VA LCP ® Plating system. The plating system is offered with efficient and precise instruments that allow you to operate with familiar techniques that are most appropriate...

One Plate for More Than 80% of the Fractures3 VA LCP Two-Column Distal Radius Plates are designed to address more than 80% of distal radius fractures currently treated with plates. 3 The VA LCP Two-Column Distal Radius Plates are the best-selling radius plates of DePuy Synthes. The remaining 20% of cases may require the use of alternate implants depending on the complexity. (Internal Global Sales Analysis 2015). Streamlined for Efficiency Streamlined instrument sets to promote procedural efficiency by simplifying the management of instruments and implants during the surgical procedure.

One Plate for More Than 80% of Distal Radius Fractures3 VA LCP Two-Column Distal Radius Plates are designed to address more than 80% of distal radius fractures currently treated with plates. Facilitated X-ray Control Facilitate screw placement confirmation using the 20 degree inclined lateral view when using nominal screw trajectories. Screw holes located in the head of the plate are designed to prevent screw protrusion into the joint space. Anatomic Fit Anatomic shape of the plate is designed to fit close to the volar ridge with rounded edges helping to reduce risk of soft tissue irritation.

Wide Range of Plates Broad plate range for varying wrist anatomy and fracture patterns. Unique VA LCP Technology Stable fixation is achieved with unique VA LCP Technology 4. The screw heads are always flush with plate surface within 30 degrees of screw trajectory variance to help reduce risk of soft tissue irritation. 3 The VA LCP Two-Column Distal Radius Plates are the best-selling radius plates of DePuy Synthes. The remaining 20% of cases may require the use of alternate implants depending on the complexity. (Internal Global Sales Analysis 2015). 4 US patent no. 2008/0140130
