The rHead™
Plating System for internal fixation of proximal radius fractures.
The comprehensive rHead™ Plating System offers four different
plates with various rim and neck designs for increased reconstructive
options, plus locking and non-locking screws. The rHead™ plates
have a low profile for smooth annular ligament translation during
pronation and supination. A unique tripod locking screw helps provide
a stable buttress support configuration. rHead™ plates are
highly contoured with a anatomic design to minimize bending. The
system offers traditional non-locking, low profile side screws to
capture fragments and a locking screw option in the shaft of the
plate. The rHead™ Plating System is part of the EMS (Elbow
Management System), the most complete elbow reconstruction system
available and offers the complete treatment algorithm. The rHead™
Plating System has received 510(k) clearance by the FDA.
