Volar Plating

This surgical procedure requires a larger incision (typically a 5-6 inch incision) and may not provide the desired level of flexibility / wrist function as quickly as the MICRONAIL® Fixation implant can.

MICRONAIL® Fixation

The MICRONAIL® Fixation implant is placed completely inside the bone during surgery through 2 very small incisions that are much smaller than traditional plating devices require.
