Acu-Loc 2 Wrist Plating System Supplemental Use Guide – Volar Rim Fragment Fixation

A comprehensive system to treat fractures of the distal radius and distal ulna, the Acu-Loc 2 Wrist Plating System offers Standard, Variable Angle Locking, Fragment-Specific, and Extension Plates to address a variety of fracture patterns. Small fragments at the volar rim are rare but can be a challenge to address due to their distal location to the watershed line. The following surgical techniques, which are used in conjunction with the Acu-Loc 2 VDR plates, are intended to address these volar rim or marginal volar fractures of the distal radius. This guide is intended for supplemental use only and is not intended to be used as a stand-alone surgical technique. Reference the Acu-Loc 2 Wrist Plating System Surgical Technique (HNW00-06) for more information.
