Intermediate Column Distal Radial Locking Plate

Kangli Orthopaedics manufactures this Intermediate Column Distal Radial Locking Plate from pure titanium for fixation of the intermediate-column region of the distal radius. Its contoured body combines paired apertures at the broader end, lobed openings along the main row, and small circular openings near the terminals. Together, these features create a focused distal radius plate with separated fixation sites arranged along a continuous, gently shaped path. It is supplied in left and right forms.

Paired Apertures for Intermediate-Column Fixation

Rounded-rectangular apertures are grouped at the broader end of the plate. Their shape and position form a dedicated opening zone for the intermediate-column region, while an adjoining circular aperture begins the transition toward the shaft.

Separated Lobed Openings Along the Plate

Lobed apertures extend through the central portion of the plate and are separated by narrow, waisted bridges. An elongated oval aperture forms part of the same longitudinal sequence. These bridges maintain distinct neighbouring screw sites and preserve plate material between openings, allowing fixation points to be distributed without creating one continuous central slot.

Terminal Openings Along the Longitudinal Path

Small circular apertures are positioned near the rounded ends of the plate, outside the larger central openings. These terminal sites complete the defined fixation path at both ends, extending from the intermediate-column region through the shaft toward the opposite tip.

Distal Radius Fixation Applications

• Fixation of intermediate-column distal radius fractures
• Fixation across the intermediate radial fragment
• Longitudinal plate positioning along the distal radius
• Locking screw fixation through the lobed aperture row

The intermediate-column configuration differs from the Radial Column Distal Radial Locking Plate, which features a separate narrow, radial-sided aperture arrangement.
