The recent development of locking-plate technology has led to a potential revolution in the
management of fractures of the distal radius. This review examines the evidence for …

Despite the frequency of distal radius fractures, studies in the existing literature have not
been able to determine the optimal surgical strategies for various fracture patterns …

Background The aim of this study was to evaluate the complication rates of volar versus
dorsal locking plates and postoperative reduction potential after distal radius fractures …

INTRODUCTION: Polyaxial angle-stable plating is thought to be particularly beneficial in the
management of complex intra-articular fractures of the distal radius. The purpose of the …

The incidence of distal radius fractures is increasing together with the average age of
population. Intra-articular incongruity is the most probable cause of unsatisfactory outcome …

INTRODUCTION: Fractures of the distal radius are very common and mainly occur in the
elderly. There has been an increasing use of locked volar plate fixations which report …

PURPOSE: To evaluate and compare the biomechanical properties of 8 different locked
fixed-angle volar distal radius plates under conditions designed to reflect forces seen in …

PURPOSE: The goal of this study was to determine whether locking screws or smooth
locking pegs optimize fixation of AO C3 intra-articular distal radius fractures. The secondary …

Purpose This study evaluated the biomechanical properties of a new volar locking plate
made by 3-dimensional printing using titanium alloy powder and 2 conventional volar …

PURPOSE: Most metacarpal fractures are stable and can be treated with nonoperative
stabilization. However, some metacarpal fractures are treated with open reduction and …
