The Variable Angle LCP Two-Column Volar Distal Radius Plate 2.7 featuring variable angle locking technology, is indicated for intra- and extra-articular fractures and osteotomies of the distal radius. All implants are available in stainless steel and titanium.

Distal radius fracture is a common trauma in the elderly because of the high frequency of osteoporosis in this age group. In a review of over 1.4 million United States emergency department visits, hand and forearm fractures accounted for 1.5 percent of all visits. In general among hand and forearm fractures, fractures of the distal radius comprise the largest portion (44 percent). The majority of distal radius fractures occur as isolated injuries in two distinct populations: youth involved in sports who sustain a relatively high-energy fall, and seniors with osteoporotic bones who sustain a low-energy fall.
