The histologic anatomy of the volar plate

The Journal of Hand Surgery, 1998
The volar plate (VP) is critical to the stability of the proximal interphalangeal joint. This study clarifies the macro- and micro-architectural structure of the VP and correlates these findings with its functional properties. Microscopic evaluation of cadaver specimens revealed a trilaminar structure of the VP with differential orientation and ...

Volar Plating of Distal Radius Fractures

2021
Distal radius fractures are common injuries, and their management has progressed substantially over the last two decades. The most common operative management of these fractures is the volar locking plate. With the availability of multidirectional locking screws, which can target specific fragments, their indication for use has expanded.

Therapeutic Effects of Volar Anatomical Plates Versus Locking Plates for Volar Barton’s Fractures

Orthopedics, 2012
Volar Barton’s fractures are uncommon and extremely unstable. Various surgical techniques have been reported in the literature, but open reduction and internal fixation using a volar plate system is currently advocated for the treatment of volar Barton’s fractures.

Volar Plate Arthroplasty

2016
Volar plate arthroplasty (VPA) is a treatment option for comminuted and unstable dorsal fracture-dislocations of the proximal interphalangeal joint (PIP). The volar plate is reattached to the volar edge of the remaining articular surface in order to provide a restraint to dorsal subluxation and a smooth surface for articulation with the head of the ...

Fragment-specific Volar Hook Plate for Volar Marginal Rim Fractures

Techniques in Hand & Upper Extremity Surgery, 2014
The volar lunate facet/volar marginal rim fragment of distal radius fractures is a challenging problem for current volar plating systems to adequately maintain internal fixation. Fragment-specific wireforms and other constructs can be used to capture these difficult fragments but are difficult to place and have limited resistance to bending and axial ...

Transverse Volar Skin Laceration of the Finger: A Sign of Volar Plate Injury

Hand, 1979
Transverse tears of the volar skin of a finger with a hyper-extension injury is associated with frequent volar plate tears or avulsions. Recognition is essential for surgical exploration of the volar plate and supporting joint structures and, if injured, surgical repair should be carried out at the time of skin suturing.

Volar Distal Radius Plating

2016
This chapter details essential steps of performing a volar distal radius plating internal fixation to treat displaced extra-articular or intra-articular distal radius factures. Dissection is carried down until the radial fracture is exposed and fully visualized; the fracture is reduced through traction followed by provisional fixation with a K-wire ...

Volar plate arthroplasty of the distal interphalangeal joint

The Journal of Hand Surgery, 2001
Ten patients with chronic dorsal fracture subluxation of the distal interphalangeal joint were managed over 5 years with volar plate advancement arthroplasty. The mean time from injury to definitive surgical treatment was 8 weeks (range, 2 weeks to 4 months). All injuries were characterized by volar comminution and impaction of the distal phalanx, with

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.

Volar Plate/Hook Pin for Volar Lunate Facet Fragment

2016
Intra-articular fractures of the distal radius that include a separate coronal plane fragment at the volar lunate facet represent a difficult subset of fractures. They are often challenging to identify on initial radiographs. Furthermore, gaining adequate fixation in an often small, unstable lunate facet fragment is deceivingly difficult to achieve ...
