GEMINUS® DISTAL RADIUS SYSTEM

Optimized subchondral support while minimizing the potential for soft tissue injury

Dual head design protects flexor tendons by providing the lowest profile at the watershed line1

Screw trajectories designed to provide optimal subchondral support

FREEFIX® technology allows the fracture to dictate screw placement

Distal radius plate screws

Both compression and locking screws can be inserted in any position in FreeFix® slots

Patented horizontal thread pattern allows dynamic compression with locking screws
