Distal Radius Fixator
The Dyna Ring Clamp is a The Distal Radius Fixator is an external fixation device used to treat unstable or comminuted fractures of the distal radius, especially when open reduction and internal fixation is not ideal. It provides rigid stabilization and maintains proper alignment of the wrist and forearm during the healing process. The fixator is typically unilateral and bridging, extending from the distal forearm to the metacarpal region, and can include options for ligamentotaxis (indirect fracture reduction through tension).
Material:
Rods & Clamps:
High-grade anodized aluminum or carbon fiber (lightweight and radiolucent)
Pins & Screws:
Surgical stainless steel (AISI 316L) or titanium alloy
Joints/Connectors:
Stainless steel or titanium for high-load areas
Finish:
Corrosion-resistant, biocompatible, autoclavable
- Distal Radius Fractures: Especially effective for intra-articular, unstable, comminuted, or open fractures of the distal radius.
- Temporary Fixation: Used as a temporary stabilizer before definitive internal fixation in polytrauma or soft-tissue injury cases.
- Pediatric and Elderly Patients: Useful in scenarios where internal fixation is risky, such as in patients with poor bone quality or growth plates.
- Ligamentotaxis-Based Reduction: Applies traction to restore fracture alignment via soft tissue tension, avoiding direct manipulation of the fracture fragments.
- Complex Wrist Injuries: Supports reduction in combined radius-ulna injuries, or wrist dislocations with associated fractures.
- Radiolucent Rods: Allow for clear X-ray visualization of fracture site.
- Adjustable Clamps and Joints: Permit precise positioning and alignment.
- Ligamentotaxis Effect: Indirectly reduces fracture by tensioning surrounding soft tissues.
- Minimal Invasiveness: Avoids the fracture zone, reducing infection and soft tissue damage.
- Easy to Assemble: Modular design allows quick surgical setup.
- Length & Angle Adjustments: Accommodates various patient anatomies and fracture patterns.
- Reusable Frame Components: Durable and autoclavable for repeated surgical use.
