THOR HALSE Capio St Görans Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden I have been using the DVR ® Anatomic Plate since it was introduced to Capio St Görans Hospital, Stockholm in 2007. We were the first hospital in a Nordic country to receive the distal radius system. Number of DVR ® Anatomic Plate cases 100 DVR user since 2007 Main benefits Ease of use, quick surgery Favourite features K-wires and F.A.S.T. Guide inserts The shape of the DVR ® Anatomic Plate and cradle of the three-dimensional pegs form helps me to recreate the anatomy from a volar approach. It works well for the most distal as well as severely comminuted fractures. For me, the main benefits of the DVR ® Anatomic Plate are the ease of use and the ability to perform quick surgery. The possibility to fixate the DVR ® Anatomic Plate temporarily to radius by using k-wires makes it easier to optimise the position of the plate to achieve anatomic reduction of the fracture. Once the k-wires are in place the procedure is really fast and the pegs and screws are easy to implant. Finally, the F.A.S.T. Guide inserts enhance my visualisation of the screw trajectories, thus making the it really easy and fast to do the drilling and measuring. The key to the procedure for me is the predefined screw trajectories that help me build a strong subchondral support to restore the natural anatomy. The different widths of the plate also give me the flexibility to recreate and maintain the natural anatomy. For example, using a wider DVR ® Anatomic Plate to obtain a stabilisation under the critical lunate fossa in a die-punch fracture as well as getting a good stabilisation of the radial styloid. Both my colleagues and I agree there have been great improvements in our patient’s outcome with the ability to quickly return to a normal life after a severe distal radius fracture compared to when we did not use the DVR ® Anatomic Plate. 7 DVR Testimonial Brochure.PRINT.indd 7 10/5/10 10:42:37
NIKOLAI SPRANGER Unfallkrankenhaus Berlin, Germany I started to use the DVR ® Anatomic Plate in 2006. What I like most of the DVR ® Anatomic Plate is that it is simple and easy to use. With the DVR ® Anatomic Plate you may treat almost every fracture of the distal forearm. The DVR ® Anatomic Plate helps reduce the OR time and the X-Ray exposure. The DVR ® Anatomic Plate has an anatomic design that matches the watershed line. It is a simple, self-explanatory system which avoids screw-displacement. I think the DVR ® Anatomic Plate is a reliable and stable implant that helps the surgeon achieve excellent results for the treatment of distal radius fractures and reduces possible complications for the patient in further treatment.
