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.
