Surgical correction of distal radius malunions using an anatomic radial locking plate.
BACKGROUND Correction of a distal radius fracture malunion is challenging technically. These malunions most classically deform dorsally, but often the deformity involves three planes. METHODS Using an anatomically designed radial plate that takes into consideration the three planes, correction of the deformity can be obtained. In this video we see a patient with a classic dinner fork deformit...
متن کاملMalunions of the Distal Radius
Fractures of the distal radius are common injuries, comprising approximately 8% to 17% of fractures seen in the emergency department. These injuries largely occur in 2 distinct populations: a smaller subset composed of high-energy fractures, which are often seen in young adults, and a larger group of low-energy fragility fractures, which are more frequently noted in older adults. The overall in...
متن کاملMechanical failure of the distal radius volar locking plate.
PURPOSE To review 9 cases of mechanical failure of the volar locking plate for distal radial fractures. METHODS Records of 374 consecutive patients who underwent volar locking plating for distal radial fractures were reviewed. Mechanical failures of the volar locking plate were defined as plate breakage or bending, screw breakage or loosening, or collapse of articular fragments resulting in i...
متن کاملLocking versus nonlocking palmar plate fixation of distal radius fractures.
This study compared functional and radiological outcomes after treatment of extension-type distal radius fractures with conventional titanium nonlocking T-plates or titanium 1.5-mm locking plates. A total of 60 patients were included and followed for 4 to 7 years after receiving nonlocking T-plates (group A; n=30) or locking plates (group B; n=30) with and without dorsal bone grafting. Bone gra...
متن کاملDistal radius nonunion after volar locking plate fixation of a distal radius fracture: a case report
We describe a 59-year-old man who had nonunion of a right distal radius fracture after volar locking plate fixation. He underwent open reduction and internal fixation with a volar locking plate system for a dorsally displaced, unstable distal radius fracture at a previous hospital 5 months ago. Radiographs of the injured wrist showed nonunion of the distal radius with 1.5-mm ulnar minus varianc...
