Elbow

Elbow fractures, though uncommon, are among the most challenging fractures to repair. Wright offers a full portfolio of reliable and easy to use elbow products for replacement and repair.

Our flagship elbow product is the EVOLVE® Modular radial head, which has now had over 25,000 units sold4. Its smooth stem design is supported in peer reviewed literature by two long term studies (8-year1 and 12 year2 average follow up). In addition, prospective data show proven performance in 2 year outcomes3.

Building on the success of the radial head, Wright recently developed the EVOLVE® Elbow Plating System. Made of stainless steel, it allows for repair of the ulna and distal humerus. It allows for 90/90 or parallel plating of the distal humerus with ORTHOLOC™ Polyaxial Locking.
