The 2.4 mm Variable Angle LCP Volar Extra-Articular Distal Radius System, is the first variable angle plate and screw construct available from Synthes.

Key Features & Benefits

• Eight anatomically contoured volar extra-articular distal radius plates, manufactured in 316L stainless steel
• Variable angle LCP (VA-LCP) holes in the head of the plate combined with variable angle locking screws allow up to 15° off-axis angulation in all directions
• Variable angle locking screws offer a locked construct to support the articular surface, reduce the need for bone graft, and obtain fixation in the osteoporotic bone
• Variable angle locking hole contains four columns of threads, that  provide four points of threaded locking between the VA-LCP plate and the variable angle locking screw, forming a fixed angle construct at the desired screw angle
• Variable angle locking screw head has a spherical shape to facilitate angles within the locking hole

Indications

• Fixation of complex intra-articular and extra-articular fractures and osteotomies of the distal radius and other small bones.
