Safety and Efficacy of the Avanti Polyetheretherketone Fixation System for Distal Radius Fractures

The Avanti PEEK system demonstrates favorable functional outcomes and low complication rates, supporting its safety and efficacy as an alternative to traditional all metallic fixation systems for distal radius fractures. Patients exhibited solid recovery of wrist motion and function with minimal postoperative complications. Additionally, the implant's simplified instrumentation facilitates intraoperative handling and ease of use for the operative team, making it a practical and efficient fixation option.

Abstract

The Avanti PEEK system demonstrates favorable functional outcomes and low complication rates, supporting its safety and efficacy as an alternative to traditional all metallic fixation systems for distal radius fractures. Patients exhibited solid recovery of wrist motion and function with minimal postoperative complications. Additionally, the implant's simplified instrumentation facilitates intraoperative handling and ease of use for the operative team, making it a practical and efficient fixation option.
