AMAL KHOURY Hadassah Medical Center, Jerusalem, Israel Five years of experience and above 400 satisfied patients reassure my trust in the DVR ® Anatomic Plate almost on a daily basis. With its minimum number of tools and plates, and various fixation options the DVR ® Anatomic Plate wins both the simplicity and the variability games at once. Number of DVR ® Anatomic Plate cases Over 400 The DVR ® Anatomic Plate’s asymmetric anatomic design allows me to get as close as possible to the natural anatomic structure of the joint, with maximum support and minimal chances for soft tissue irritation. In terms of fracture reduction, fixation, motion restoration and rehabilitation time, the DVR ® Anatomic Plate is an excellent choice.

JAMES WARNER Royal Bolton Hospital, Bolton, UK I began to use the DVR ® Anatomic Plate in February 2005 when it was first launched by Hand Innovations in the UK. I had followed Dr Orbay’s work in the literature and was keen to start using the plate as soon as it became available in the UK. I now have personal experience of approximately 250 DVR ® Anatomic Plate cases. In our hospital we fix approximately 250 wrists per year with this plate and have been very pleased with our outcomes. I feel that the DVR ® Anatomic Plate is very well designed and relatively simple to use. The plates fit the shape of the distal radius well, allowing the fracture to be moulded to the plate - using it as a template. The fact that the plate is designed to sit up to the watershed line means that the volar marginal fragment is usually nicely supported and yet the plate remains within the concavity of the volar aspect of the distal radius. Hence flexor tendon irritation should not be a problem with a well positioned implant. The k-wire holes in the proximal row not only provide a temporary hold of the fracture position, but also allow accurate positioning of the plate to ensure correct distal peg/ screw placement. The risk of inadvertent placement of a distal peg into the joint is therefore minimized. At the same time the surgeon can be confident that the fixed angle of the distal pegs/screws will ensure good support of the subchondral bone in the distal fragment. The F.A.S.T. Guide inserts are simple to use and don’t obscure the view of the distal fragments. It is therefore possible to manipulate the radial styloid fragment after fixation of the lunate fossa fragments in more complex displaced intra-articular fractures. Number of DVR ® Anatomic Plate cases Over 250 DVR user since 2005 Main benefits Immediate mobilisation Favourite features Anatomic design, k-wires, FAST guides We have not needed to immobilise the wrist post surgery allowing earlier restoration of function and return to activities of daily living. Our patients have found this a definite benefit. Along with use of the extended FCR approach (as described by Dr Orbay), I have found that this plating system allows me to treat all but a very few acute fractures and malunions of the distal radius from the volar aspect and in a reproducible way. We have been able to achieve consistently good results at our hospital using the DVR ® Anatomic Plate in the management of both intra-articular and extra-articular fractures of the distal radius. 10 DVR Testimonial Brochure.PRINT.indd 10 10/5/10 10:42:39
