Leveraging the plate: reliably restoring volar tilt of distal radius fractures.
Restoration of volar tilt is critical when performing open reduction and internal fixation of distal radius fractures. A reproducible technique is required to consistently achieve this goal. A simple technique using the locking plate and an electrocautery scratch pad as reduction tools can reliably generate volar tilt. This technique can be performed with minimal aid from surgical assistants.
متن کاملVolar plate fixation of distal radius fractures.
Volar fixed angle fixation may be considered as the beginning of a new era in restoring wrist function to patients with dorsally displaced distal radius fractures even in the face of comminuted or osteopenic bone. A thorough understanding of the anatomy of the wrist is a prerequisite when volarly approaching dorsally displaced distal radius fractures. The demonstration of the device theoretical...
متن کاملMechanical failure of the distal radius volar locking plate.
PURPOSE To review 9 cases of mechanical failure of the volar locking plate for distal radial fractures. METHODS Records of 374 consecutive patients who underwent volar locking plating for distal radial fractures were reviewed. Mechanical failures of the volar locking plate were defined as plate breakage or bending, screw breakage or loosening, or collapse of articular fragments resulting in i...
متن کاملPolyaxial versus uniaxial volar locking plate for distal radial fractures.
PURPOSE To compare the penetration of the distal screws in relation to the thickness of the distal metaphysis in the polyaxial versus uniaxial volar locking plates. METHODS Records of 78 patients aged 16 to 79 years who underwent open reduction and internal fixation for distal radial fractures (n=81) were reviewed. All fracture subtypes were included. 20 men and 22 women aged 18 to 79 (mean, ...
متن کاملTreatment of unstable distal radius fractures with the volar locking plate
BACKGROUND Open reduction and internal fixation using an interlocking plate system has gained popularity for the treatment of dorsally displaced distal radius fractures. PURPOSE To evaluate the functional and radiological results of treating unstable distal radius fractures with the volar locking plate. PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospective review was conducted of patients from one instituti...
