Home > DVR Volar Distal Radius Plate, Titanium
The DVR anatomic volar plate is a titanium fixed-angle plate for the volar surface of the distal radius. Its pre-contoured head follows the volar anatomy and supports the subchondral bone of the joint surface with a fixed-angle distal row, while the shaft range covers everything from narrow anatomy to extended metaphyseal fixation. BoneCraft holds this plate as a genuine original implant from the Zimmer Biomet DVR plating line, supplied through independent distribution.
Volar fixed-angle plating has become the workhorse of operative distal radius treatment. Placed on the flat volar surface and anchored through a fixed-angle distal row, the plate holds the reduced joint surface even in osteopenic bone, where conventional screws would rely on thread purchase alone. The volar route also keeps hardware away from the extensor tendons.
The anatomic DVR head is shaped to sit distal on the volar rim region while respecting the watershed line, and the version range lets the surgeon match plate width and shaft length to the patient — narrow for slender bones, wide for broad articular blocks, extended shafts for fracture lines running into the metaphysis. Reduction quality and implant selection remain decisions for the operating surgeon.
Fixation starts with positioning the anatomic head against the volar cortex and securing the shaft, then placing the fixed-angle distal row beneath the subchondral bone. The version families differ in head width and shaft length; all are titanium and produced as dedicated left and right plates.
