Comparison of clinic-radiological and functional outcome of intra articular distal end radius fractures managed by volar locking plate versus external fixation [PDF]
, 2021 Background: Distal end radius (DER) fractures are most common fractures in upper limb. Intra articular fractures can be managed either by open reduction and internal fixation by volar locking plate or can be managed by closed reduction and external ...

Volar locking plate: Age related outcomes and complications
Journal of Clinical Orthopaedics and Trauma, 2020 There is no unanimity for the treatment of distal radius fractures in older people. The purpose of our study is to assess the efficacy of volar locking plate for the treatment of unstable distal radius fractures in older independent individuals.A retrospective comparative study of 105 patients.

Surgical Treatment of Unstable Distal Radius Fractures With a Volar Variable-Angle Locking Plate: Clinical and Radiological Outcomes [PDF]
, 2016 Background: Unstable distal end radius fractures are difficult to manage and so various treatment modalities have been described. The use of variable-angle locking plates is promoted for the management of these fractures.

Characteristics of two different locking compression plates in the volar fixation of complex articular distal radius fractures [PDF]
, 2013 Objectives: To investigate the differences of open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of complex AO Type C distal radius fractures between two different models of a single implant type. Methods: A total of 136 patients who received either a 2.4 mm (n

Avoiding complication of volar locked plates [PDF]
BMC Proceedings, 2015 Volar locking plates are designed to improve and maintain anatomic alignment, even in patients with dorsal comminution and poor metaphyseal bone quality. Its widespread use led to specific complications. Most part is related to tendon, nerve and complex regional pain syndrome [1] and could be avoided by meticulous attention to detail and surgical ...

A new volar plate made of carbon-fiber-reinforced polyetheretherketon for distal radius fracture: analysis of 40 cases [PDF]
, 2014 BACKGROUND: Implants based on the polyetheretherketon (PEEK) polymer have been developed in the last decade as an alternative to conventional metallic devices. PEEK devices may provide several advantages over the use of conventional orthopedic materials,
