| Zusammenfassung: | A wrist fusion plate has a proximal portion comprising at least one opening, wherein the proximal portion attaches to the radius by inserting bone screws through the proximal portion opening. A distal plate portion has a plurality of openings and is adapted to be attached to a metacarpal (M) by inserting bone screws through the distal portion attachment openings and into the metacarpal. A central plate portion has at least one attachment opening and is adapted to be attached to a carpal bone by inserting bone screws through the attachment opening. The proximal and distal portions are aligned along a longitudinal axis of the wrist fusion plate. One of the distal portion attachment openings is elongated in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. |
