HBS Screw System
Click here for downloadable HBS Standard Brochure
 The HBS Screw System is the next generation headless
bone screw. The HBS System features all of the benefits of
the original screw with the additional
benefit of cannulation. The HBS System is available
in 2 compressions, a standard compression and
a high compression. The HBS system is suitable
for the fixation of most small bone fractures
and small joint fusions. Since the screws are
both inert and non-protrusive, they do not have
to be removed, making them the ideal implant for
use within or adjacent to a joint.
Being cannulated, the screws can be inserted
over a 1mm guide wire, thus eliminating the need
to use a jig and allowing percutaneous insertion.
The self-tapping screw requires only a single
cannulated drill, and the T-Drive system ensures
complete control.

The HBS Mini Screw System has a shaft diameter
of only 1.5 mm, which
allows surgeons to extend the advantages of the
unique, double-threaded screw design to the fixation
of extremely small bone fragments.

Herbert Ulnar Head Prosthesis (UHP)

Click here for downloadable surgical techniques
 Disorder of the distal radio-ulnar joint (DRUJ)
are common and are usually associated with pain,
weakness, instability, and loss of forearm rotation.
The aim of surgical treatment is to restore a pain
free range of forearm motion with a stable ulna
and wrist. Today there is no sigle surgical procedure
which can be guaranteed to restore pain free rotation
and at the same time correct any underlying instability
of length discrepancy. For this reason treatment
of the DRUJ remains controversial.
The Herbert ulnar head prosthesis (UHP) has been
designed to restore pain free forearm rotation
and at the same time correct any length discrepancy.
Stability is achieved by means of a simple soft
tissue repair (so called “ulnar flap”) which is
combined with a reconstruction of the triangular
fibro-cartilage complex (TFCC).
The modular construction of the Herbert Ulnar
Head Prosthesis (UHP) allows combination of all
sizes of shafts and heads. The titanium and ceramic
materials used for the prosthesis guarantee highest
biocompatibility. The UHP is designed to permit
insertion of the prosthesis shaft without cement.
Indications
- Revision in the case of unsitisfactory results
following:
- Darrach procedure
- Bowers procedure
- Sauve-Kapandji procedures
- Primary arthrosis
- Post traumatic arthrosis
- radial fracture
- tears in the Ulnar - Carpal ligament complex
- Ulna-Impaction-Syndrome
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Tumors
