Recos® Ulna Shortening and Radius Reconstruction System
Radial fractures are frequently followed by postoperative malalignment that can lead to loss of strength as well as pain. Moreover, the length ratio between the ulna and the radius might have been adversely affected by the intervention, although such dysbalance may also be a genetic condition.
Surgical radius reconstruction and ulna shortening can both be achieved by plate osteosynthesis.
With Recos®, we have succeeded in uniting these two corrective osteotomies in a single system. The plates are fixed using our proven smartDrive® screws. Only a handful of instruments are required for this application.
