A wrist arthrodesis plate () consisting of a distal region () and of a proximal region () which adjoins the distal region () in the direction of a longitudinal axis (A). The plate () is of such a shape and size that the distal region () of the plate can be fastened to the carpus () and a proximal region () of the plate can be fastened to the radius () by fastening devices, such as screws, which can be inserted into plate holes. A distal end region (), which comprises a farthest distal location () of the plate (), is of a shape and size that the distal end region () can be placed with the farthest distal location () exactly, and only, on a carpal bone from the group comprising trapezium (), trapezoid (), capitate () and hamate (), without covering any part of the laterally adjacent bones.

Wrist arthrodesis plate and method using a wrist arthrodesis plate

A fixation device is used to fix an elongate element, in particular a wire, in an opening of a retaining structure, in particular of an implant plate. The fixation device has a main body. The main body is provided with a bore for receiving the elongate element. The main body is radially deformable in a clamp area, such that the diameter of the bore can be reduced. The main body has an outer contour which is designed in such a way that, when the fixation device is inserted into the opening of the retaining structure, the clamp area is deformed such that the elongate element is clamped securely in the bore.
