These additions aim to address needs in treating two of the most frequently fractured bones.

The VOLT fracture management platform was initially launched in October 2024 to enhance the stability of fitted plates and streamline workflow efficiencies in orthopedic surgery. The system first included mini and small fragment plating systems, which received US FDA clearance in March 2024 for fracture plating in areas such as the ankle, forearm, and clavicle.

The VOLT Wrist Treatment System was developed in collaboration with the Hand Expert Group within the AO Technical Commission, which is a Swiss non-profit specializing in the surgical treatment of trauma and musculoskeletal disorders. This system is designed to treat various wrist fractures and includes the VOLT Two-Column Distal Radius Rim Plate. This plate’s shape allows it to sit more distally for better access to distal fragments and features a lower profile in the flexor pollicis longus region.
