Designed to perform.
The hand is one of the most complex and most frequently utilized parts of the human musculoskeletal system. It is composed of a multitude of closely balanced structures, e.g. bones, muscles, ligaments, tendons, joints and nerves. The goal of hand surgery is to minimize the impact of hand diseases and injuries on daily activities and to restore and obtain as much functionality as possible.
TriLock 1.5
One of the smallest polyaxial locking systems in the hand.
Unexpected solutions
Scaphoid Plate 1.5 and Hookplate.
No fracture untreated
The complete Hand System 1.2–2.3 provides tools to address any fracture, regardless of complexity.
TriLock
TriLock locking technology provides multidirectional locking of the screw in the plate.
Treatment Concept
In collaboration with leading specialists, Medartis has developed the unique APTUS Hand fixation system for treatment of fractures, osteotomies and arthrodesis of the hand. The implants portfolio offers different technologies, designs, and sizes to support early mobilization and active therapy.

Outcomes of Unstable Scaphoid Nonunion With Segmental Defect Treated With Plate Fixation and Autogenous Cancellous Graft2019J Hand Surg Am.
The authors describe the clinical performance of the Scaphoid plate for treating scaphoid non-unions with a segmental defect. They conclude that: "The combination of scaphoid plate fixation and pure cancellous bone grafting for scaphoid nonunion with segmental defects yields reliable union rates and good patient outcomes.”

Holding and Positioning Instrument
The ball tip end of the 1.2/1.5 plate holding and positioning instrument <br>(A-2350)</br> facilitates positioning, moving and holding the implant on the bone and can be used with all system sizes.
Plate Cutting
Ensure that there are no remaining plate segments in the cutting pliers (visual check). Insert the plate from the front into the open cutting pliers. Always ensure that the labeled side of the plate is facing upwards. Hold the implantable plate segment with your hand during and after cutting.
K-Wire Cutting
Shorten the K-wires by inserting the wire through the opening located on the side of the plate cutting pliers. Cut the wire by pressing the pliers.
