Indication Statement
The DePuy Synthes Variable Angle Locking Hand System is intended for fracture fixation of the hand and other small bones and small bone fragments, in adults and adolescents (12-21 years) particularly in osteopenic bone.
System indications include the following:
• Open reduction and internal fixation of fractures, mal-unions, and non-unions
• Following excision of benign bone tumors
• Replantations and reconstructions
• Arthrodeses of joints involving small bones
• Osteotomies, including deformity correction such as rotation, lengthening, shortening
• Pathological fractures, including impending pathologic fractures
When using this system to treat skeletally immature patients, physiological status of the physes and individual stature of the patient should be assessed before considering treatment
options as damage to the physes may occur, leading to potential growth arrest.
