The ARIX Wrist System(Radius) is intended for use in forearm fractures, osteotomies and arthrodesis. The ARIX Wrist System(Ulna) is intended for fractures and osteotomies, in particular for the ulna.

Product Overview ARIX Wrist System ARIX Wrist System Volar Distal Radius Locking Plate is a locking plate system for volar distal radius fractures, providing optimal fit for all radius bones with anatomically designed low-profile plates. Design based on the actual 3D radius bone scan data, to provide the perfect fit on the radius bone.

Surgical Technique Volar Distal Radius Locking Plate

Surgical Technique Set up the operation plan using preoperative x-rays or equivalent radiographic measures. Position the patient in supine position and place the forearm on hand table. Make a longitudinal incision slightly radial to the flexor carpi radialis tendon(FCR). Dissect between the FCR and the radial artery, exposing the pronator quadratus. Detach the pronatorq uadratus from the lateral border of the radius and elevate it toward the ulna. Required Set ARIX Wrist System Full Kit ARIX Wrist System

Surgical Technique 2. Fracture Reduction & Plate Positioning 1 Reduce the fracture manually, using the most appropriate reduction method for the fracture pattern. Place the plate over the volar surface of the distal radius. If necessary, insert Ø 1.1 mm guide pin(111-068-2) through the desired guide pin hole to temporarily fix the plate distally. 2 If necessary, bend the plate using a pair of plate benders(26.0240.17). With the plate benders, hold & bend the plate around the center window. Warning: DO NOT bend the plate more than 5°. Excessive or repetitive bending may break the plate. Tips for...

Surgical Technique 3. Screw Insertion – Oblong Hole 1 Begin with the oblong hole in the shaft of the plate by drilling with the 2.0 mm drill bit(112-25-701) and drill guide(111-080). Distance between oblong hole markings is 1 mm. 2 Measure the depth of drilled hole with depth gauge (111-075) and choose an appropriate screw oblong hole on the plate shaft with STARIX T8 screw driver(113-HF-613) and screwdriver handle(111-092). Adjust the plate position if necessary and tighten the screw. Required Instruments Drill Bit ARIX Wrist System

Surgical Technique 4. Screw Insertion- Proximal 1 For locking screws, insert the drill guide(111-080) or drill sleeve(111-101) perpendicular to the plate and drill with the drill bit 2.0 mm. Locking screws 2 Measure the hole depth with the depth gauge(111-075) to determine the screw length. 3 Insert screws with STARIX T8 screw driver(113-HF-613) Required Instruments Guide Pin Drill Guide Depth Gauge Screwdriver Shaft Screwdriver Handle Volar Distal Radius Locking Plate

Surgical Technique 4. Screw Insertion- Distal Determine whether screws will be inserted at the prede- fined angle with guide block (a) or at a variable angle (b) . (a) Predefined angle with guide block 1 Select the corresponding guide block and mount guide block to the plate using the attachment screw. Insert the quick drill sleeve with scale into the guide block hole. Ensure that the drill sleeve is firmly seated in the hole. Drill to the desired depth using the 2.0 mm drill bit. Read the screw length directly from the laser mark on the drill bit. 2 Alternatively, measure with a corresponding...
