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 …

The purpose of this systematic review is to assess the prevalence of complications following
volar locking plate fixation of distal radial fractures. A computer-based search was carried …

Background: Flexor tendon injury is a recognized complication of volar plate fixation of distal
radial fractures. A suspected contributing factor is implant prominence at the watershed line …

Background: Despite the recent trend toward internal fixation of distal radial fractures, few
randomized trials have examined whether volar plate fixation is superior to other …

Purpose Compared with cast treatment, surgery may expose patients with distal radius
fractures to undue risk. Surgical intervention in this cohort may offer less benefit than …

Background: Optimal surgical management of unstable distal radial fractures is
controversial, and evidence from rigorous comparative trials is rare. We compared the …

Background: The aim of this study was to compare the outcomes of displaced distal radial
fractures treated with a volar locking plate with the results of such fractures treated with a …

We performed a prospective, randomised trial to evaluate the outcome after surgery of
displaced, unstable fractures of the distal radius. A total of 280 consecutive patients were …

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to demonstrate the validity and responsiveness of the
Jebsen–Taylor Hand Function Test (JTT) in measuring hand function in patients undergoing …

Background: In the past decade, there has been a trend toward open reduction and internal
fixation of unstable distal radial fractures. There are now more than thirty different implant …
