Arthrodesis System 2.0/2.3, 2.5

Designed to perform.

Freedom from pain, mobility and stability are basic prerequisites for a trouble-free hand function. The APTUS Wrist Arthrodesis System 2.0/2.3, 2.5 provides a comprehensive portfolio of plates for meeting the individual needs of patients.

Comprehensive system

The APTUS Wrist Arthrodesis System 2.0/2.3, 2.5 offers a comprehensive portfolio of plates for meeting the individual needs of patients.

Wrist fusion plates

Fusion of radiocarpal and midcarpal joint without arthrodesis of the carpometacarpal joint. Therefore, physiological motion in the carpometacarpal joint is maintained.

Four corner fusion plates

Midcarpal arthrodesis through compression and angular stable locking.

TriLock Locking Technology

TriLock locking technology provides multidirectional and angular stable locking of the screw in the plate.

Treatment concept

The system includes specifically developed plates for four-corner fusion (4CF) and fusion of the scaphoid, trapezium and trapezoid (STT). Plates are also available for radioscapholunate fusion (RSL) and for total wrist fusion (TWF), supplemented by wrist fusion plates (WF) that avoid fusion of the carpometacarpal joint.

Carpal Fusion (4CF, STT)

RSL Fusion

Wrist Fusion

Total Wrist Fusion

2.0/2.3 TriLock Four Corner Fusion Plates

Highlights

Specifically developed plates for fusion of capitate, hamate, triquetrum and lunate.
Compression and stable fixation of the carpal bones.
Inner screw holes for compression of the carpal bones being fused using cortical screws (optional for small 4CF plate).
Outer screw holes for angular stable fixation using TriLock screws.
Concave shape of the plate and reamers provide minimal bone removal and easy handling without intraoperative tilting of the plates.

Features

TriLock

Multidirectional locking, screws can pivot freely by ± 15° in all directions

HexaDrive

Simplified screw pick-up due to patented self-holding technology

Rounded edges

Rounded edges for soft tissue protection
