Simulates the two main ways the normal wrist moves: up and down and side to side.
Simulates the ways in which the bones of the wrist come together.
The articulating surfaces are elongated for greater range of motion.
Features that Reduce the Risk of Loosening
The trapezoidal fixation stem is part of what allows the BIAX to recreate some of the wrist's natural rotation. It also increases the strength of the implant's connection to the bone, reducing the risk of loosening.
The bases of the component stems are covered with a unique, rough coating called Porocoat® Porous Coating that increases the surface area for cement fixation holding it securely in place.
