Evaluation of Functional Outcome of Volar Barton Distal End Radius Fractures Managed by Internal Fixation with Volar Butress Plate-a Prospective Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background and Objectives: The management of Volar Barton’s fractures either by operative or conservative means is a difficult problem. The present study was conducted with an objective to analyze the clinical and functional results of these fractures fixed internally using volar buttress plate.

Stainless steel versus titanium volar multi-axial locking plates for fixation of distal radius fractures: a randomised clinical trial
BACKGROUND Distal radius fractures are among the most common fractures seen in the hospital emergency department. Of these, over 40% are considered unstable and require some form of fixation. In recent years with the advent of low profile plating, open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) using volar plates has become the surgical treatment of choice in many hospitals. However, it is currentl...
متن کاملComparison of volar locking plate and external fixation with K wire augmentation in unstable distal radius fractures
Distal radius fractures are one of the most common injuries and this incidence is likely to increase as the aging population increases. The type of operation and implant is a matter of discussion and randomized trials and meta analyses have failed to recommend the preferred implant. Internal fixation with volar locking plate and external fixation with supplementation with K wire have been succe...
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 کاملAnatomy of the distal volar radius and its implications on volar plate osteosynthesis
Volar plate fixation 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 variatio...
متن کاملComplications 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]...
