Distal radius fractures – A volar plate is not just a volar plate
Introduction Increasingly complex distal radius plate designs are available for treating distal radius fractures. As a result, many fractures are being ‘over-treated’ with more complex volar plate designs than necessary.

Volar Locking Plate Breakage after Nonunion of a Distal Radius Osteotomy
We report a 38-year-old male with a nonunion followed by plate breakage after volar plating of a distal radius osteotomy. Volar locking plates have added a new approach to the treatment of distal radius malunions, due to a lower morbidity of the surgical

Development of Apex Volar Deformity Following Volar Plating of Pediatric Radius Fractures
Background:. Plate fixation in skeletally immature children can cause angular deformity with longitudinal growth even when the plate does not overlie the adjacent physis.

Volar Plate Repair for Chronic Injury. [PDF]
The aim of this study was to assess the long-term outcomes of volar plate repair for chronic injury.Patients who underwent volar plate repair for chronic instability more than 6 months following the initial injury were included. A minimum follow-up of 2 years from time of surgery was required.

Outcome of volar Barton fractures of distal radius managed with open reduction and internal fixation with volar locking plate [PDF]
Background: Volar Barton fractures of distal radius almost always require a surgical fixation. Near anatomical reduction and a stout fixation is imperative for good outcome.

Volar Plate Fixation in Adults with a Displaced Extra-Articular Distal Radial Fracture Is Cost-Effective [PDF]
BACKGROUND: To our knowledge, a health economic evaluation of volar plate fixation compared with plaster immobilization in patients with a displaced extra-articular distal radial fracture has not been previously conducted.

Dorsal Approach for Management of Complex Kaplans Dislocation
Complex metacarpophalangeal dislocation is an uncommon injury where the index is the most commonly involved finger. The most common mechanism involves hyperextension of digits at the metacarpophalangeal joint.
