What is it indicated for?

The IXOS Radius Plate System is intended for surgical procedures in which internal fixation by implants is required for aligning, reconstruction and stabilizing bone tissue.

It is used in particular for fixing intra- and extra articular acute fractures of the distal radius, in particularly

Type A2 Colles fractures

Type A3 fractures

Type B1 fractures

Type B2 Barton fractures

Type B3 Smith or reversed Barton fractures

Type C1 fractures

Type C2 fractures

Type C3 fractures

and in osteotomies of the distal radius.

Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
