Background Volar plating of unstable distal radius fractures (DRF) has become the favoured
treatment. The complication rates vary from 3 to 36%. The purpose of the study was to …

Distal radius fractures (DRFs) are some of the most commonly encountered fractures, and
the incidence is increasing. Optimal treatment remains controversial. Critical evaluation of …

In the recent years, treatment of distal radius fractures (DRF) has advanced considerably.
Surgical fixation with palmar angular stable plate has gained popularity, due to a reported …

Background In recent years, there has been an increased utilization of volar locking plate
fixation of distal radius fractures (DRFs). However, reported long-term complication rates …

Background: Tendon-related complications after plate fixation of distal radius fractures can
cause significant morbidity in the patient. This retrospective systematic review aims to report …

Introduction Distal radius fractures (DRF) are the most common fractures of the upper
extremities. The incidence is expected to continue rising in the next years due to the …

Background Internal fixation with plates is a reliable fixation technique for the treatment of
distal radius fractures. An ongoing discussion exists whether volar or dorsal plating is the …

Background: This study assessed the risk and factors of complications after volar locking
plate fixation of distal radius fractures. Methods: A single-institution retrospective review of …

Background Indication of volar locking plate (VLP) removal after bony healing of distal
radius fracture (DRF) is controversial. Studies with various range of removal rate were …

Background: Unstable distal radius fractures that undergo surgical stabilization have varying
complication rates in the literature. Smoking is known to affect bone healing and implant …
