Acu-Loc 2 Volar Distal Radius Plate and Volar Tilt Correction Cadaveric Surgery with Dr. Ruch
The Acu-Loc 2 Wrist Plating System offers various plate families and screw technologies to treat multiple fracture patterns of the distal radius and distal ulna regions. In this cadaveric surgery, Dr. Ruch, examines methods for approach, dissection, plate placement, and use of the Acu-Loc 2 KickStand Posts, designed to correct distal radius volar tilt.

In this video, Dr. Ruch demontrates his use of the Frag-Loc Compression Screw to achieve volar fixation of the fragmented bone.
ORIF With the Acu-Loc 2 Volar Distal Radius Plate
In this live surgery, Lamont Cardon, MD treats a 54-year-old patient with an Acu-Loc 2 Volar Distal Radius (VDR) Proximal Plate to repair an extra-articular distal radius fracture.
Distal Radius Fractures – Dr. Ruch : Part 1 : Proper Plate Placement and Fracture Fixation
David S. Ruch, M.D., Chief of Orthopaedic Hand Service at Duke University Medical Center, talks about the anatomy of the distal radius and why it precludes universal plate placement.

David S. Ruch, MD, Chief of Orthopaedic Hand Service at Duke University Medical Center, discusses the importance of proper plate placement for fracture reduction on distal radius fractures.
Distal Radius Fractures – Dr. Ruch : Part 3 : Priorities for reduction – Tips
David S. Ruch, MD, Chief of Orthopaedic Hand Service at Duke University Medical Center, provides tips for proper reduction and fixation of intra-articular fractures of the distal radius, including identifying the “critical corner” and establishing where you want your plate to sit on the proximal-distal aspect.
