Distal Radial Buttress Locking Plate

Kangli Orthopaedics manufactures the Distal Radial Buttress Locking Plate from pure titanium for distal radius fracture fixation. Its design combines a broad buttress end, a staggered distal aperture cluster, and a gently curved, tapering shaft. The plate extends fixation from the wider distal radial region toward the shaft and includes locking holes for use with compatible locking screws. It is supplied in left and right forms.

Broad Distal Footprint for Radial Fragment Fixation

The distal section expands into a rounded triangular profile with a staggered arrangement of apertures. This wider footprint provides multiple fixation locations across the distal radial fragment, while the continuous rounded perimeter follows the outer edge of the plate around the aperture cluster.

Varied Apertures for Flexible Screw Positioning

The distal cluster includes circular openings in different sizes, with additional apertures extending through the shaft and terminal lobe. This arrangement offers screw-positioning options near the distal fragment and along the radius, allowing the fixation pattern to be distributed across the plate.

Curved, Tapered Profile from the Distal Radius to the Shaft

From the broad distal end, the plate narrows progressively into a curved shaft and ends in a rounded terminal lobe. This continuous profile connects the distal radial region with the shaft in a single plate design. An elongated, rounded slot in the shaft provides a positioning opening for adjustment along the plate’s longitudinal axis before final fixation.

Distal Radius Fixation Applications

• Distal radius fracture fixation
• Buttress fixation across the distal radial fragment
• Longitudinal fixation from the distal radius into the shaft
• Locking screw placement through the distal aperture cluster

When selecting a forearm plate for the distal radius, this buttress configuration can be evaluated alongside the Dorsal Distal Radial Locking Plate.
