The First Assistant uses ligamentotaxis to provide for ulnar deviation and volar flexion on the operating table.

Depending on placement, the device can be used to reduce both Colles and Smith fractures.

FA improves operative time and acts essentially like another technician to hold the reduction in place while the surgeons treats the fracture.

The First Assistant has few moving parts and requires only self-adhering wrap to fix the arm to the plate.

FA’s large knob allows for powerful internal lifting of the arm bones to achieve reduction with minimal torque requirement.

The radiolucent plate provides for real-time fluoroscopic viewing of reduction and arm positioning to achieve best results.
