TriMed Wrist Fixation System
Volar Bearing Plate
Tips
1. Contour the plate with the plate benders as needed. This may alter the trajectory of the fixed angle pegs, but will not
affect the ability to place pegs subchondral in bearing holes.
2. A 2.3mm cortical screw can be used in a fixed angle hole to draw the distal fragment and the plate together.
3. If a technique inserting pegs first is preferred, insert pegs into the fixed angle holes to aid in levering the distal
fragment into place.
4. The Bearing Reduction Tool can be used to re-establish the alignment of the bearings to the drilled holes before
inserting the pegs.
