Wrist Spanning Plate Technique

Fracture fragments can be manually reduced by applying distraction to the hand and wrist. The plate is positioned over the second or third metacarpal as desired. A non-locking cortex screw is used distally to secure the plate to the bone and allow for slight adjustment. Next, center the plate over the radial shaft. Apply traction, and place a non-locking 3.5mm screw into the distal end of the oblong shaft slot of the plate. This will allow for additional distraction if needed. Once positioned, the 2.4mm locking screws can be inserted distally with either the threaded locking drill guide or the variable angle drill guide. The optional central 2.4mm screws can be added to the carpus and distal radius as well, for additional fixation as needed. Confirm final reduction and screw placement on X-ray.
