Wrist plating systems are commonly used to treat:
- Arthritis
- Trauma injuries
- Congenital deformities
The plate can be placed on the dorsal (back) or volar(front) side of the wrist, depending on the patient’s condition and the surgeon’s preference.
- Improved stability: The wrist arthrodesis nail provides superior stability compared to other types of wrist surgery.
- Faster recovery
