Product Description
Features a highly adjustable central joint that enables independent control of distraction, flexion, extension, and radial/ulnar deviation, allowing for the precise anatomical restoration of the wrist joint.
Constructed from premium lightweight alloys or radiolucent carbon fiber materials, providing a high strength-to-weight ratio that improves patient comfort and allows for clear post-operative imaging.
Utilizes robust pin clamps that securely hold percutaneous bone pins, ensuring rigid anchorage in both the radius and the second metacarpal to prevent loss of fracture reduction over time.
Designed for rapid assembly and intuitive adjustment in the emergency room or operating theater, shortening surgical duration and simplifying fracture management.
Primary indication for managing comminuted or unstable distal radius fractures where cast immobilization is insufficient and internal fixation (volar plating) is precluded by poor bone quality or soft tissue injury.
Indicated for bridging the wrist joint in severe open fractures or cases with extensive soft tissue damage where internal hardware could increase the risk of infection.
Used to maintain alignment and provide stabilization following corrective osteotomies or during the treatment of complex carpal dislocations and instabilities.

The Wrist Joint External Fixator 5000-1501 is an external bridge used to hold the wrist in place while a break heals. It sits outside the body and is connected to the bone via small metal pins. This fixator is particularly famous for its versatility, allowing a surgeon to "steer" the fracture into the correct position and lock it there using the fixator's mechanical joints.
This system is a standard of care for severe "Colles" fractures or crashes where the wrist bone is broken into many small pieces. It is also used when the skin is too swollen or damaged for an internal plate to be put in immediately. It provides a stable "external scaffold" that protects the nerves and blood vessels by keeping the joint at the proper length.
The main advantage is minimally invasive stability. Unlike plates, it does not require a large incision over the fracture, which protects the blood supply to the bone pieces. The 5000-1501 model is specifically praised for its "low profile," meaning it isn't bulky, making it easier for patients to wear during the 6-8 weeks of healing time.
Biomechanically, the fixator works through ligamentotaxis. By pulling slightly on the wrist (distraction), the fixator uses the surrounding ligaments to pull the bone fragments back into their natural spots. The 5000-1501 joint mechanism allows the surgeon to apply these forces in exactly the right direction to counteract the muscle pull that often displaces wrist fractures.
The surgeon makes small nicks in the skin to insert pins into the radius and the second metacarpal bone. The fixator is then attached to these pins. Using a fluoroscope (live X-ray), the surgeon adjusts the fixator’s joint until the fracture line looks smooth and anatomical. Once perfectly aligned, the joints are tightened, locking the wrist in a safe, stable position.
Care focuses on "Pin-site care" to prevent infection. Because the wrist joint is blocked, patients are encouraged to move their fingers immediately to prevent stiffness. The Fixator allows the patient to perform daily tasks that don't involve the wrist, and once the bone shows signs of healing on X-rays, the fixator is typically removed in a quick clinic procedure.
The Wrist Joint External Fixator 5000-1501 is a reliable and flexible solution for one of the most common orthopedic injuries. Its precise adjustment capabilities and stable design ensure that even the most difficult wrist fractures can be restored to their proper alignment, giving the patient the best chance at a full recovery of hand and wrist function.
Typically, the fixator remains in place for 6 to 8 weeks, depending on how fast the bone heals and the complexity of the original fracture.
Patients are usually told to keep the fixator dry for the first few days. After the skin has healed around the pins, some surgeons allow showering, provided the area is dried carefully afterward to prevent infection.
No. External fixators are temporary. Once the bone is strong enough to support itself, the fixator and the pins are removed by the doctor.
Carbon fiber is radiolucent, meaning it does not block X-rays. This makes it easier for doctors to see exactly how the bone is healing beneath the fixator compared to aluminum models.
The skin around the pins is a potential entry point for bacteria. Daily cleaning with saline or soap is essential to minimize this risk, which is easily managed if caught early.
