aap: LOQTEQ® VA Distal Radius System has clinically proven and receives high level of market acceptance
Press Release dated October 18, 2016
The evaluation following the market launch one year ago shows that the LOQTEQ® VA Distal Radius System 2.5 from aap Implantate AG (“aap”) has clinically proven and enjoys a high level of market acceptance. Both the implant and the related instruments meet with a positive response by users and customers. The LOQTEQ® VA Distal Radius System 2.5 is the first product in the LOQTEQ® VA (VA = Variable Angle) product family, which are polyaxial implants that facilitate inserting angle-stable screws at different angles. Polyaxial implants are required for treating areas such as the hand that in surgery require both angle stability and flexibility in the insertion of screws.
The LOQTEQ® VA Distal Radius System 2.5 was developed for the treatment of fractures of the distal radius (radius close to the wrist) and the distal ulna (ulna close to the wrist). Radius fractures account for about a quarter of all fractures. To meet patients’ growing demands, a fast, mobilization-stable treatment with a permanent retention of the repositioning result is required. The special combination of anatomically preformed and small, angle-stable plates in conjunction with freely selectable screw angles and user-friendly instruments fulfils all the requirements of modern fracture management.
