Dorsal Block Splinting of Volar Plate Injuries at Neutral Position

Annals of Plastic Surgery, 2019
Purpose Volar plate injuries of the proximal interphalangeal joint (PIPJ) of a finger are common, often occurring in sporting or workplace incidents.

The use of dorsal distraction plating for severely comminuted distal radius fractures: A review and comparison to volar plate fixation.

Injury, 2019
INTRODUCTION Optimal fixation for highly comminuted distal radius fractures remains a major treatment challenge for orthopaedic surgeons. Dorsal distraction plating can serve as an improved fixation technique by allowing reduction under ligamentotaxis ...

Distal radius fractures – A volar plate is not just a volar plate

Trauma, 2017
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. We hypothesise that significant cost savings could be made by rationalising the use of complex locking plate designs.

The Impact of Obesity and Smoking on Outcomes After Volar Plate Fixation of Distal Radius Fractures.

Journal of Hand Surgery-American Volume, 2019
PURPOSE Distal radius fractures are common fractures of the upper extremity. Whereas surgical outcomes have been extensively investigated, the impact of risk factors such as body mass index (BMI) and smoking on patient outcomes has not been explored.

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 ...

Ultrasonographic evaluation of the distance between the flexor pollicis longus tendon and volar prominence of the plate as a function of volar plate positioning and pronator quadratus repair - A cadaver study.

Hand Surgery and Rehabilitation, 2018
Flexor tendon injury after volar plating of distal radius fractures is due to friction against the plate. To assess this risk, the distance between the flexor pollicis longus (FPL) and the volar prominence of the plate was measured with ultrasonography ...

Volar Marginal Rim Fracture Fixation With Volar Fragment-Specific Hook Plate Fixation

The Journal of Hand Surgery, 2015
To review the outcomes of patients treated with a volar hook plate specifically designed to capture volar marginal rim fractures.A retrospective study was performed over 18 months of patients treated with a volar hook plate in the management of AO type B or C distal radius fractures with a volar marginal rim fragment. Clinical and radiographic outcomes

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 ...

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 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.
