Systems for distal radius fixation
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A bone plate for fixation of distal radius fractures, comprising:
- a plate member including a proximal portion and a distal portion and having a plurality of apertures, the proximal portion and distal portion being configured to be secured to a distal surface region of a radius bone adjacent opposing sides of a fracture in the radius bone using fasteners received in the plurality of apertures, the proximal portion including a locking aperture configured to receive a fastener that locks to the proximal portion such that the fastener extends at an angular offset from orthogonal to the proximal portion.

13. A bone plate for fixation of distal radius fractures, comprising:
a plate member configured to fix a radius bone and having a plurality of apertures configured to receive fasteners that secure the plate member to a distal region of the radius bone, the plate member including a proximal portion defining a plane and a distal portion extending out of the plane, the proximal portion including a locking aperture configured to receive a fastener that locks to the plate member such that the fastener extends at an angular offset from orthogonal to the plane. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A method of fixing distal radius fractures, comprising:
-
selecting a bone plate configured to be installed on a distal surface region of a radius bone, the bone plate including a proximal portion and a distal portion;
selecting a radius bone having a fracture disposed distally;
securing the proximal portion and distal portion to the radius bone such that the proximal and distal portions are disposed adjacent opposing sides of the fracture, wherein securing includes locking a fastener to an aperture of the proximal portion such that the fastener extends at an angular offset from orthogonal to the proximal portion. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
