Volar Plating as a Treatment for Distal Radius Fractures
نویسندگان
چکیده
Locked volar plating is the most common surgical procedure to address distal radius fractures. The extended flexor carpi radialis (FCR) approach continues to be an excellent method for visualizing distal radius fractures and applying a volar plate.

Complications and Plate Removal Surgeries after Performing Volar Plating of Unstable Distal Radius Fractures
Complications have often been reported in the literature after distal radius fractures treated conservatively or operatively [1-3]. Previously, the main indication for volar plating was a volar Barton or Smith fracture, but now volar locking plates are the most commonly used treatment for unstable distal radius fractures and during the last decade this method has become increasingly popular [4]...
متن کاملVarious volar shapes of the distal radius and its implications on volar plate osteosynthesis
Volar plate fi xation with use of either a locking plate or a neutralization plate has become increasingly popular among surgeons for the treatment of dorsally comminuted distal radial fractures. When doing volar plating of radius fractures, we observed a considerable variation in the morphology of the distal radius. Research in the literature reveals rare information about the anatomic variati...

متن کاملLocked volar plating for complex distal radius fractures: Patient reported outcomes and satisfaction
BACKGROUND Distal radius fractures are common. The increasing prevalence of osteoporosis contributes to frequently complex articular injuries sustained even after low energy falls. The best method of treating complex type C distal radius fractures is debated. Locked volar plating and external fixation are both widely used with good reported results. Measures of success are traditionally based o...
متن کاملVolar Distal Radius Anatomy Applied to the Treatment of Distal Radius Fracture.
Volar locking plate (VLP) fixation has become the standard surgical treatment for distal radius fractures. However, flexor tendon rupture is one of the major complications following volar plating. This detailed review on the anatomy and morphology of the volar distal radius might facilitate appropriate placement of the volar plate and thereby avoid flexor tendon rupture. We introduce safe and s...
