Removal of Locked Volar Plates After Distal Radius Fractures

The Journal of Hand Surgery, 2011
We present our experience with removal of locked volar distal radius plates and screws and note the indications for removal, types of plates removed, completeness of hardware removal, and complications occurring during plate removal.We reviewed all distal radial volar locking plates removed at our institution from 2004 to 2009.

A Biomechanical Comparison of a Biodegradable Volar Locked Plate With Two Titanium Volar Locked Plates in a Distal Radius Fracture Model

Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection & Critical Care, 2010
Volar plating is commonly used in the management of distal radius fractures; bioresorbable plates have attractive features. We compared a bioresorbable plate with a latest generation and an established locked titanium plate.Twenty-four fresh-frozen radii (12 pairs) were assigned to three mean bone mineral density-matched groups of eight radii each.

Do volar locking plates fit the volar cortex of the distal radius?

Journal of Hand Surgery (European Volume), 2016
The purpose of this study was to measure the volar cortical angles of the commercially available volar locking plates and evaluate how well they fit the distal radius. We measured the volar cortical angles of the radial and intermediate columns of eight volar locking plates and compared them with the volar cortical angles of 90 cadaver distal radii ...

Variable-Angle Locking Screw Volar Plating of Distal Radius Fractures

Hand Clinics, 2010
Surgical treatment options for distal radius fractures are many and commonly involve volar locked plating. More recently, newer volar locking plates have been introduced to the market that allow the placement of independent distal subchondral variable-angle locking screws to better achieve targeted fracture fixation.

Reduction Techniques in Volar Locking Plate Fixation of Distal Radius Fractures

Techniques in Hand & Upper Extremity Surgery, 2022
Distal radius fractures are the most common upper extremity fracture and volar locking plate fixation has become a common modality for operative management of these injuries over the last 2 decades. However, despite the widespread use of volar locking plates, there remains no comprehensive guide detailing the available reduction techniques using these ...

Complications after volar locking plate fixation of distal radius fractures

Injury, 2014
Volar locking plates are an increasingly popular treatment for distal radius fractures. We reviewed complications observed after volar locking plate fixation in a busy teaching hospital. The purpose of the study was to assess whether complication rates after volar locking plate use in general, routine trauma practice were higher than published ...

Results of Volar Locking Plate Osteosynthesis for Distal Radial Fractures

Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection & Critical Care, 2011
To evaluate functional, radiologic, and subjective outcome after volar locking plate osteosynthesis (VLPO) for unstable distal radius fractures (DRF).In this study, patients treated with VLPO for isolated DRF between March 2005 and December 2007 were prospectively evaluated.

Volar Locking Plate + Dorsal-Ulnar Plate

2016
With the advent of locking volar plates, many distal radius fractures, including those with comminution, are able to be adequately stabilized from a volar approach only. However, some fractures require supplemental fixation to adequately stabilize and prevent escape of the dorsal-ulnar fragment, and with it, subluxation of the carpus.

Biomechanical Comparison of Volar Locked Plate Constructs Using Smooth and Threaded Locking Pegs

Orthopedics, 2014
The goal of this study was to determine whether there is any biomechanical difference in terms of construct strength with axial loading between volar fixed-angle locking plates with threaded locking vs smooth locking pegs. The control group comprised 7 cadaveric specimens with threaded locking pegs, and the test group comprised 7 cadaveric specimens ...

Flexor Tendon Injuries Following Locked Volar Plating of Distal Radius Fractures

The Journal of Hand Surgery, 2008
We present 2 cases showing that flexor pollicis longus and flexor digitorum profundus index injury can occur after placement of 2 commonly used locked volar plates. In contrast with the literature, the radii healed in an anatomic position without plate lift-off. The patients presented 6 and 8 months after surgery with new onset of radial wrist pain and
