Designed to Perform
The hand is one of the most complex and most frequently utilized parts of the human musculoskeletal system. It is composed of a multitude of closely balanced structures, e.g. bones, muscles, ligaments, tendons, joints, and nerves. The goal of hand surgery is to minimize the impact of hand diseases and injuries on daily activities and to restore and obtain as much function as possible.
TriLock 1.5
One of the smallest polyaxial locking systems in the hand.
Unexpected Solutions
Scaphoid Plate 1.5 & Hookplate.
No fracture untreated
The complete Hand System 1.2 - 2.3 provides tools to face any fracture, regardless of complexity.
TriLock
Patented TriLock locking technology provides multidirectional locking of the screw in the plate.
Treatment Concept
Over the past decades, locking plates have established themselves in the treatment of fractures in the hand and wrist. The increasing number of hand fracture systems that include locking plates reflect the trend of hand surgeons to use internal fixation systems, especially for complex fractures. The treatment with angular stable systems has the advantage of achieving a more stable fixation in fractures with bone loss and of having a reduced risk of secondary displacement. Additionally, they offer the possibility of indirect reduction of metaphyseal fractures. Due to the complex anatomy of the hand in general and the phalanges in particular, the plates should be as small as possible to spare soft tissue, but strong enough to bridge a defect zone. The aim of an osteosynthesis on the hand is to achieve an exercise-stable fracture treatment. This enables early mobilization of the hand.

Designed to Simplify
Holding and Positioning Instrument
The ball tip end of the 1.2/1.5 plate holding and positioning instrument (A-2350) facilitates positioning, moving and holding the implant on the bone and can be used with all system sizes.
Plate Cutting
Ensure that there are no remaining plate segments in the cutting pliers (visual check). Insert the plate from the front into the open cutting pliers. Always ensure that the labeled side of the plate is facing upwards. Hold the implantable plate segment with your hand during and after cutting.
K-Wire Cutting
Shorten the K-wires by inserting the wire through the opening located on the side of the plate cutting pliers. Cut the wire by pressing the pliers.
