DePuy Synthes 2.4mm LCP Distal Radius System | Volar Fixation | 115.963

The DePuy Synthes 115.963 2.4mm LCP (Locking Compression Plate) System is the clinical benchmark for the internal fixation of complex distal radius fractures. Engineered to address the challenges of intra-articular and extra-articular fractures, this system utilizes advanced fixed-angle technology to provide stable reconstruction, even in osteopenic bone or highly comminuted trauma cases.

The volar plates are pre-contoured to match the natural anatomy of the distal radius, significantly reducing the need for intraoperative plate bending. By combining locking and non-locking capabilities within the same plate, this system allows for the "Combi-hole" flexibility that modern 2026 orthopedic standards demand.

Key Specifications

• Manufacturer: DePuy Synthes (Johnson & Johnson)

• System Type: 2.4mm LCP (Locking Compression Plate)

• Screw Compatibility: 2.4mm / 2.7mm Locking and Cortex Screws

• Material: 316L Stainless Steel or Titanium (Verify SKU)

• Plate Design: Low-profile, Anatomic Volar Distal Radius

• Instruments: StarDrive / Hexagonal driver compatible (Standard Synthes Small Fragment)

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Fixed-Angle Stability: The locking screw-to-plate interface creates a rigid construct that acts as an internal fixator. This is vital for maintaining the volar tilt and radial length in fractures where the dorsal cortex is comminuted.

• Anatomic Low-Profile Design: The plates are tapered distally to sit flush against the bone, minimizing "FPL" (Flexor Pollicis Longus) tendon irritation and reducing the risk of post-operative tendon rupture.

• Synthes Combi-Hole Technology: Provides the surgeon the choice of axial compression, stable locking fixation, or a combination of both. This versatility allows for the reduction of the fracture through the plate before final locking.

• Angular Range & Targeting: The distal screw holes are oriented to support the subchondral bone of the lunate and scaphoid facets, providing a "raft" of support that prevents articular collapse.

• Organized Graphic Case: Housed in a genuine Synthes aluminum tray, the system allows for rapid inventory checks and ensures that all drill bits, taps, and guides are readily accessible during time-sensitive trauma cases.

Ideal Applications

• Orthopedic Trauma: Complex intra-articular fractures (AO Type C) and extra-articular distal radius fractures.

• Corrective Osteotomies: Management of malunions where radial realignment is required.

• Osteopenic Bone Management: Providing stable fixation in elderly patients where traditional non-locking screws are prone to pull-out.

• Sports Medicine: Rapid fixation of high-energy fractures in athletes to facilitate earlier range-of-motion.

Condition & Quality Assurance

• Status: NEW — Factory Overstock.

• Integrity: All plates and screws are in their original OEM sterile or non-sterile packaging (as specified by SKU). The graphic case is in pristine condition, ready for standard facility sterilization and processing.

• Validated Inventory: This overstock offering provides genuine DePuy Synthes quality at a significant value, allowing trauma centers to maintain the highest standard of volar fixation while optimizing equipment spend.

• Documentation: All components carry the trusted DePuy Synthes branding and traceability lot numbers.

Shipping & Handling

• Secure Logistics: Shipped in a reinforced, heavy-duty carton to protect the graphic case and ensure the internal instruments remain calibrated and secure.

• Fast Dispatch: Ships within 1 business day.
