Abstract
A stabilizing retractor system for distal radius fracture repair includes a backing plate configured to support the back of the wrist and having a first side accessible on a first side of the wrist, a second side accessible on a second side of the wrist. A first soft tissue retractor is engageable with the backing plate and has a first radius engaging concavity on a first side, and a first soft tissue retracting surface on a second side. A second soft tissue retractor is engageable with the backing plate and has a second radius engaging concavity on a first side, and a first soft tissue retracting surface on a second side. The first and second tissue retractors may be advanced apart from each other to retract tissue, and retained by a tie which connects the first and second retractors around the back of the backing plate.
