OrthoLine™ Radial Fracture System
The OrthoLine radial fracture plate system includes 1.6 mm, 1.6 mm broad, 2.0 mm, 2.4 mm, 3.0 mm, and 3.5 mm sizes. Each plate is anatomically contoured to mimic the anatomy of patients within a given size range. The system features multiplanar distal screw trajectories and centrally aligned proximal screws to improve screw pullout. The plates are thinner than standard T-plates or straight plates, minimizing soft-tissue interference. The tubular bottom enhances conformity to the patient’s bone structure and increases the area moment of inertia. Additionally, the unique design includes bending plugs, multiple K-wire holes for preliminary placement, and a fracture-spanning bridge with a compression screw hole that provides compression across the fracture site while sparing the abductor pollicis longus tendon in a cranial-medial placement. While the plates are primarily designed for cranial-medial placement, they can also be used for for cranial-lateral placement with the contralateral side plate.
