About us

Union Surgical’s mission is to improve the quality of life for patients after injury.

Our goal is to develop and market high-quality upper extremity implants and instruments to improve patient outcomes.

For more than 20 years, we have continued to strive for excellence in patient outcomes, customer service, and product development.

Products – The T-Pin^®

Distal Radius

The T-Pin® is a novel instrument designed to stabilize extraarticular distal
radius fractures utilizing minimal surgical dissection.

Distal Radius

The T-Pin® allows for early active wrist range of motion promoting earlier return to
functional activities.

Distal Ulna

A frequent limitation of
plating distal ulnar fractures is the prominence
of hardware in this location often necessitating
a second procedure for hardware removal. An
alternative method of fixation employs the T-Pin®
to stabilize this type of ulna fracture.

Distal Radius Fracture Fixation With the Specialized Threaded Pin Device

The T-Pin device provides reliable fracture stabilization with excellent functional outcomes and minimal soft tissue complications.

Its design and minimally invasive approach make it a valuable option for selected distal radius fractures

Distal Ulna Fracture Fixation with the Specialized Threaded Pin
(T-Pin^®)

PMID: 37521552

Threaded pin fixation is a viable alternative to existing options for distal ulnar neck fractures and may have an advantage over plate fixation because of a lack of hardware prominence.

Threaded Pin and Volar Plate Fixation of Distal Radius Fractures: Early Functional Recovery

PMID: 35415575

Both groups achieved equivalent range of motion and functional recovery; however, the threaded pin group required significantly less therapy than the volar plate group. At the time of discharge from therapy, radiographic and clinical outcomes were similar for both types of implants, but the patients treated with a threaded pin required significantly less therapy and were discharged from therapy an average of 67 days sooner than the patients undergoing volar plate fixation.

Percutaneous Threaded Pin Fixation of Distal Radius Fracture in the Athlete

PMID: 33345609

Surgical fixation using a purpose-designed threaded pin is a useful alternative to volar plating for isolated radial styloid and extra-articular distal radius fractures in athletes. The purpose-designed threaded pin may afford athletes rapid recovery during the early postoperative period, preserving strength and dexterity and minimizing time lost before return to play.
