Abstract: Provided herein is a wedge for implantation into a distal radius fracture. The wedge has a longitudinal axis and includes a wedge-shaped body and an anchorage reinforcement member having a securement member. The wedge shaped body has opposing tapered surfaces extending from a proximal end wall to a distal end wall and tapering toward the longitudinal axis in the proximal to distal direction. The wedge-shaped body includes an aperture extending through the opposing tapered surfaces. The anchorage reinforcement member is received within the wedge-shaped body and is rotatable relative thereto. At least a portion of the securement member is adapted to extend through the aperture for engaging with and securing to the radius bone.
