UHP

 

 

The UHP has been designed to treat disorders of the distal radio-ulnar joint (DRUJ).

It is used to treat primary osteoarthritis, post-traumatic osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, tumors and salvage of Darrach, Bowers, and Sauve-Kapandji.

  • Allows a free range of flexion, extension, ulnar deviation and radial deviation at the ulnocarpal joint.

  • Different sized stems and heads.
