The
Diamond™ plate is designed for four corner fusion of the
capitate, hamate, lunate and triquetrum bones in the hand. The
plate is intended for use in patients suffering from pain and/or
loss of function due to SLAC and SNAC wrist, post-traumatic arthritis,
fractures, carpal instability or rheumatoid arthritis. When combined
with the specially designed screws included in the system, the
plate acts as a compression device, providing secure fixation
with only four screws.
Features / Benefits
- Low profile design - less bone removal
- Compression plate - fewer
screws are needed to obtain fusion, making the process less invasive
- Specially designed screws allow optimum fixation
- Large central
opening for better bone graft placement / manipulation
