Osteotomy of the Distal Radius Using a Fixed-angle Volar Plate.
OBJECTIVE Skewed consolidation of the distal radius, due to sequelae of fractures, may cause functional incapacity, thus leading such patients to present pain, loss of strength and diminished mobility. Based on the excellent results obtained from surgical treatment of unstable fractures of the distal radius through a volar approach and use of rigid fixation with a fixed-angle volar plate, we st...
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 کاملBiomechanical comparison of fixed-angle volar plate versus fixed-angle volar plate plus fragment-specific fixation in a cadaveric distal radius fracture model.
PURPOSE To test the hypothesis that combining orthogonal fragment-specific fixation with volar fixed-angle fixation provides markedly higher interfragment stability and construct strength compared with volar fixed-angle fixation alone. METHODS Eight matched pairs of fresh cadaveric hand and forearm specimens were potted upright in cement. Flexor and extensor tendons were isolated at insertion...
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 کاملVolar Locking Plate Breakage after Nonunion of a Distal Radius Osteotomy
We report a 38-year-old male with a nonunion followed by plate breakage after volar plating of a distal radius osteotomy. Volar locking plates have added a new approach to the treatment of distal radius malunions, due to a lower morbidity of the surgical approach and the strength of the final construction, allowing early mobilization and return to function. Conclusion. Plate breakage is an unco...
