Anatomic Risks with Overpenetration of the Volar Locking Plates' Proximal Holes

Journal of Wrist Surgery, 2023
Abstract Background Volar locking plate fixation (VLP) is commonly used to treat distal radius fractures (DRF). Risk of dorsal compartment injury with distal screw hole fixation has been studied; however, the risk with proximal screw hole fixation is not well studied.

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.

Volar Locking Plate and Radial Styloid Plating

2016
A significant number of distal radius fractures can be appropriately managed with a volar locking plate alone. However, fractures with a radial column/styloid fragment can prove difficult to capture with a standard volar locking plate, as the primary or secondary fracture lines would be parallel to the distal screws of most volar plates.

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 ...

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.

Pearls and Pitfalls of the Volar Locking Plating for Distal Radius Fractures

The Journal of Hand Surgery (Asian-Pacific Volume), 2016
Volar locking plate fixation has been widely accepted method for the treatment of unstable distal radius fractures. Although the results of volar locking plate fixation are encouraging, it may cause implant-related complications such as flexor or extensor tendon injuries.

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.

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.

Locking of a Metacarpo-Phalangeal Joint Caused by a Haemangioma of the Volar Plate

Journal of Hand Surgery, 1988
A case of locking of a metacarpo-phalangeal joint in a 47-year-old woman is reported, Full movement of the joint was restored after excision of a haemangioma which had arisen from the volar plate. Other causes of locking are described and recommendations for treatment are made.

Volar Locking Plate Implant Prominence and Flexor Tendon Rupture

The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery-American Volume, 2011
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, where the flexor tendons lie closest to the plate.Two parallel series of patients who underwent volar locked plating of distal radial fractures from 2005 to 2008 and with at ...
