Abstract
A distal radius plate according to the invention is ergonomically formed to be more easily centered on the radius bone. The distal radius plate has two main portions: an elongated portion that attaches to the body of the radius and a distal radius portion that attaches to the lower most, wider portion of the radius bone. Because of its ergonomic shape the distal radius plate is fast and easy to center on the radius and install. In another embodiment, the distal radius plate may include a metal support that is partially or entirely covered with a plastic to eliminate or reduce detailed machining of the metal, which reduces part cost and manufacturing time.
