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.

Features and Benefits

  • Designed for distal radial fractures
  • Multiplanar distal screws
  • Proximal screw trajectories designed to align centrally in the bone
  • Anatomic plate design with left and right options
  • Accommodates high screw density where needed
  • Tapered design to avoid soft-tissue irritation
  • Compression hole
  • Fracture-spanning bridge
  • Two placement options
