First Case with McGinley Orthopedics Lever Action Plate

McGinley Orthopedics marked the first implantation of the Lever Action Plate®, a dynamic fragment reduction technology that helps restore volar tilt and articular congruity.

The plate is reportedly the first functional plate on the market. It offers an alternative to current techniques that may be imprecise, leading to less-than-anatomic alignments. In some cases, the patient may need a repeat surgery to revise the alignment and replace the conventional plate. The Lever Action Plate supports precise adjustment of bone fragment alignment.

The system also has optional variable angle screws of varying sizes with patented locking technology. The plate is contoured to sit just proximal to the watershed line on the distal radius.

The plate is used with IntelliSense technology, a drill that auto-stops at the far cortex of the bone and indicates depth measurement for accurate screw sizing.
