Does the DVR® plate restore bony anatomy following distal radius fractures?
INTRODUCTION Fractures of the distal radius are common. Malreduced fractures are associated with residual functional deficiency. There has been a trend over the last few years for using fixed angle volar locking plates to surgically stabilise this injury. Our unit uses the DVR(®) plate (DePuy, Warsaw, IN, US). Nevertheless, it is unknown whether the normal bony anatomy is recreated or merely re...
متن کاملVolar fixed-angle fixation of distal radius fractures: the DVR plate.
Volar fixed-angle fixation of distal radius fractures is a new method of treatment that provides the benefits of stable internal fixation without incurring the disadvantages of the dorsal approach. The DVR plate is a new fixation implant that was introduced specifically for the purpose of managing both dorsal and volar displaced fractures from the volar aspect. Experience gained applying volar ...
متن کاملVolar plate fixation of distal radius fractures.
Volar fixed angle fixation may be considered as the beginning of a new era in restoring wrist function to patients with dorsally displaced distal radius fractures even in the face of comminuted or osteopenic bone. A thorough understanding of the anatomy of the wrist is a prerequisite when volarly approaching dorsally displaced distal radius fractures. The demonstration of the device theoretical...
متن کاملMinimally invasive plate osteosynthesis for distal radius fractures
BACKGROUND Fractures of distal radius are common injury in all age groups. Cast treatment with or without close reduction is a viable option. However, the results are often unsatisfactory with restricted function. The open reduction and internal fixation often results in extensive soft tissue dissection and associated high rates of infect and delayed/nonunion. The distractor/external fixator ha...
متن کاملDorsal nail plate fixation of distal radius fractures.
Intramedullary fixation of distal radius fractures is an emerging concept. The Dorsal Nail Plate is a new device that links a specifically designed stem to a small distal plate; bone fixation is supported by fixed-angle screws. The device is inserted dorsally using a minimally invasive technique ; its indications are unstable dorsally displaced extra-articular or simple articular distal radius ...
