VariAx 2^® Distal Radius
and VariAx 2^® Distal Ulna

Standard Dorsal Plate: 

• SOMA designed¹
• Designed to buttress the dorsal rim
• 2mm thickness
• Styloid screw hole that can be bent if desired to patient’s need
• Low profile and flush screws to reduce the potential for soft tissue irritation
  
• Buttressing of the complete dorsal rim
• Pre-angulated divergent screw trajectories distally

Lateral Plate:

• SOMA designed¹
• 2mm thickness
• Distal K-wire holes allow for additional small additional small fragment fixation using paper-clip technique
• Slightly curved to improve fit²
• Distal kickstand screw trajectory designed for better stability

Dorsal Medial Plate:

• SOMA designed¹
• 2mm thickness, 0.75mm distal taper thickness
• Sits medial to Lister’s Tubercle
• Distal K-wire holes allow for additional small fragment fixation using paper-clip technique
• Designed to buttress the lunate facet
  

Dorsal Lateral Plate:

• SOMA designed¹
• Oblong hole designed to facilitate plate placement
• 2mm thickness, 0.75mm distal taper thickness
• Sits lateral to Lister’s Tubercle
• Distal K-wire holes allow for additional small fragment fixation using paper-clip technique

Volar Rim Plate: 

• SOMA designed¹
• 1.6mm thickness, 1.0mm distal taper thickness
• The vertical K-wire slots are designed to allow for distal or proximal adjustment and the horizontal K-wire slots are designed to allow for lateral or medial adjustment of the plate.
• Sits on volar lip at the lunate facet
• Hooks to grab small distal fragments, which cannot be fixed with screws​
• K-wire holes on the volar rim plate allow for tissue approximation with sutures
• Hooks to capture lunate facet

Distal Ulna Hook Plate:

• SOMA designed using 251 ulnae CT scans²
• 1.5mm thickness
• Distal hook allows for fragment reduction by K-wire prior to plate fixation and plate can be slid over K-wire for final reduction
• Hook designed to capture small styloid fractures that may not be captured by screws

Distal Ulna Base Plate:

• SOMA designed using 251 ulnae CT scans²
• 1.7mm thickness
• Distal screw cluster offers more fixation options in a narrow footprint

Wrist Spanning Plate:

• Proximal oblong hole designed for plate adjustment
• 3mm thickness
• Offered in 2 lengths
• Tapered ends designed to help slide the plate through the extensor tendon compartments (ETC)
