Radial Head Locking Compression Plate

Short Description:

In orthopedic surgery, a specialized form of implant called a radial head locking compression plate is used to treat fractures of the radial head, the portion of the radius bone that rests at the elbow joint. The broken radial head is compressed onto the ulna (another bone in the forearm) by the plate, which is intended to stabilize the patient and encourage recovery. Compression encourages bone repair and keeps fractures aligned. The Radial Head Locking Compression Plate includes specifically crafted screw holes that enable locking screws to be put into the plate, similar to conventional locking compression plates. By doing this, a fixed framework is created, improving stability and enabling early mobilization following surgery. The plate is anatomically designed to match the radial head’s curve, assisting in achieving a firm attachment and easing pressure on the nearby soft tissues. Compression of the radial head When a displaced radial head fracture necessitates surgical intervention, plates are frequently employed. However, a number of variables, including the precise type of fracture, the patient’s age, and general health, will influence whether or not this plate is used. When dealing with radial head fractures, it’s crucial to seek the advice of a skilled orthopedic surgeon to make an accurate diagnosis and choose the best course of action. They will assess each case individually and make a determination regarding the Radial Head Locking Compression
