Information
Hand systems in sizes 1.5 mm, 2.0 mm, and 2.4 mm are specialized orthopedic implant systems designed for the fixation of small bones and delicate fractures of the hand and wrist. These systems are widely used in the treatment of metacarpal, phalangeal, carpal, and distal radius fractures, as well as in reconstructive and corrective procedures. Their precise design allows surgeons to achieve stable fixation while preserving soft tissue and joint function.
The 1.5 mm system is primarily used for very small bones and pediatric cases, offering minimal implant profile and reduced soft tissue irritation. The 2.0 mm system is commonly applied in phalangeal and metacarpal fractures, providing a balance between strength and flexibility. The 2.4 mm system is suitable for larger hand and wrist fractures, including complex distal radius and carpal injuries, where higher mechanical stability is required.
These hand systems typically include mini plates, locking and non-locking screws, K-wires, and dedicated instruments, enabling accurate fracture reduction and secure fixation. The low-profile plates are anatomically contoured to fit hand bone geometry, minimizing implant prominence and improving patient comfort.
