What Is the Orthoscan Wrist Joint, Wig-Wag (100-0283-01)?
Product: Orthoscan Joint, Wrist, Wig-Wag
Part Number: 100-0283-01
The Orthoscan Wrist Joint, Wig-Wag (100-0283-01) is the articulating wrist joint that enables the wig-wag rotational movement of the C-arm head on compatible Orthoscan mini C-arm systems. Wig-wag refers to the side-to-side tilting motion of the C-arm — the ability to angle the beam laterally while keeping the unit in position. This joint sits at the wrist connection point between the C-arm and the articulation arm assembly, and its smooth function is essential for precise beam angulation during imaging procedures. Compatible with the HD, FD, FD-OR, and FD Pulse. Common reasons for replacement include the joint becoming stiff or binding, excessive looseness or slop in the wig-wag axis, and physical damage from impact or overextension. Call (800) 643-2998 with your serial number to confirm this is the correct joint for your unit before ordering.

What is wig-wag motion on a mini C-arm?+
Wig-wag refers to the side-to-side tilting rotation of the C-arm head — the motion that allows the clinician to angle the X-ray beam laterally without repositioning the patient or the unit. On the HD and FD platform, this motion is controlled by the wrist joint at the connection between the C-arm and the articulation arm. A functional wig-wag joint is essential for oblique imaging angles commonly needed in orthopedic and podiatric procedures.
What symptoms indicate the wrist joint needs replacement?+
Common indicators include the C-arm head feeling stiff or binding when tilting side-to-side, excessive looseness or slop in the wig-wag axis that prevents the arm from holding its angled position, a grinding or clicking sensation during wig-wag movement, and visible physical damage to the joint from impact or overextension. Call (800) 643-2998 to help confirm the joint is the root cause before ordering.
