PROSTHETIC FOR RESURFACING THE DISTAL RADIUS

摘要

This implant (1) comprises a plate (2) forming a concave articulation surface intended to come directly in articulation relation with the bones of the first row of carp bone, and an anchoring rod (3) tapered integral with this plate (2), intended to be inserted into the medullary canal of the distal end of the radius. According to the invention: - the plate (2) has a front view, an oval shape occupied essentially by the concave articulation surface (4), and is devoid of enveloping peripheral rim; the anchoring rod (3) has a double inclination with respect to the axis of symmetry (S) of this plate (2), namely an inclination towards the internal side of the implant (1), such that the central axis (C) of this rod forms an angle ranging from 6 to 16 ° with this axis of symmetry (S), and an inclination towards the palmar side of the implant (1), such as the central axis (C). ) of this rod forms an angle of 4 to 12 ° with this axis of symmetry (S).
