Restoration of teardrop angle (TDA) in distal radius fractures treated with volar locking plates
Distal radius fractures are common fractures of the upper extremity, estimated to account for one-sixth of all fractures seen and treated in emergency rooms.1-3 These fractures are seen in a bimodal age distribution and usually result from a low-energy trauma. Displaced fractures involving the articular surface of the distal radius have the worst prognosis because of the potential for incongrui...
متن کاملDistal radius measurements and efficacy of fixed-angle locking volar plates.
AIM For surgical treatment of unstable distal radius fractures, fixed-angled locking volar plate fixation is becoming popular nowadays because of some advantages over other surgical techniques. In this article, we discuss the fitting of fixed-angle locking volar plates to the distal radius in relation to the changes in the distal radial angles. MATERIALS AND METHODS First, we took conventiona...
متن کاملDorsally Comminuted Fractures of the Distal End of the Radius: Osteosynthesis with Volar Fixed Angle Locking Plates
Background. Dorsally comminuted distal radius fractures are unstable fractures and represent a treatment challenge. The objective of this study was to evaluate the functional and radiological outcome of dorsally comminuted fractures of the distal radius fixed with a volar locking plate. Patients and Methods. Thirty-three consecutive patients with dorsally comminuted fractures of the distal end ...
متن کاملAre intra-articular distal radius fractures best managed with volar locking plates or bridging external fixation?
Introduction Distal radius fractures are the sixth most commonly occurring fracture. Controversy surrounds the optimal method of fixation with both volar locking plate and bridging external fixation being advocated. This systematic review aims to compare these techniques in the treatment of intra-articular fractures. Materials and methods The electronic databases Medline and EMBASE were searche...
متن کاملDistal radius volar locking plates: does a variable angle locking system confer a clinical advantage?
This retrospective study compared clinical, radiological and subjective outcomes between patients with a distal radius fracture fixed with a variable angle or fixed angle volar locking plate. Radiological parameters were assessed between initial and final post-operative films. Post-operative clinical range of motion as a proportion of that in the opposite wrist was assessed clinically, and sati...
