Useful for those fiddly fractures on either dorsal distal radius or ulna head/neck fracture. There\'s a high flex or a high strength version. I think it will become obsolete with more anatomic frag specific plates. It\'s also a ZimmerBiomet product now due to all the takeovers.

They are very low profile. Locking mechanism well designed. Easy to conform.
They are poor strength and could break before bone healing or joint fusion especially on Medial column of the foot. They don’t have ability to compress bone gaps.
