Computed Tomography Evaluation of Distal Screw Penetration in Volar Locking Plate Fixation for Intra-Articular Distal Radius Fractures
Volar locking plate fixation for distal radius fractures (DRFs) is a technically demanding procedure with a risk of distal screw penetration through the dorsal cortex or the articular surface. This study aimed to investigate the incidence and details of distal screw penetration after volar locking plate fixation for intra-articular DRFs using a CT scan and to evaluate the relationship between the incidence of screw penetration and fracture comminution severity and the clinical complications of screw penetration.Implicit and Explicit Factors That Influence Surgeons’ Decision-Making for Distal Radius Fractures in Older Patients
The purpose of this study was to evaluate factors that influence surgeons’ decision-making in the treatment of distal radius fractures in older patients.Magnitude, Direction, Temporal Patterns, and Frequency of Loss of Distal Radius Fracture Reduction in Women 50 Years and Older
To determine the magnitude, direction, temporal patterns, and frequency of reduction loss following nonsurgical, closed treatment of distal radius fractures in women 50 years and older and correlate these observations with bone mineral density and age.Radiological, Clinical, and Functional Outcomes of Combined Dorsal and Volar Locking Plate Osteosynthesis for Complex Distal Radius Fractures
The purpose of this study was to assess the short- to mid-term radiologic, clinical, and functional outcomes of patients treated with combined dorsal and volar locking plating for internal fixation of complex, comminuted, intra-articular, distal radius fractures.Outcomes of Arthroscopic-Assisted Distal Radius Fracture Volar Plating: A Meta-Analysis
The use of wrist arthroscopy to assist fixation of distal radius fractures with volar locking plates (VLPs) has been gaining popularity in recent years; however, there is no consensus on its benefits. This meta-analysis compares outcomes of arthroscopic-assisted VLP to fluoroscopic-assisted VLP in distal radius fractures through a systematic review of the published literature.Assessing the Relationship Between Bone Density and Loss of Reduction in Nonsurgical Distal Radius Fracture Treatment
Whether low bone mineral density affects loss of reduction for distal radius fractures (DRFs) managed without surgery is unknown. Our purpose was to understand how bone mineral density, based on second metacarpal cortical percentage (2MCP) measurement, affects DRF healing after nonsurgical treatment.The Value of Intraoperative 3-Dimensional Fluoroscopy in the Treatment of Distal Radius Fractures: A Randomized Clinical Trial
This study attempted to determine the clinical effectiveness of the intraoperative use of 3-dimensional fluoroscopy compared with conventional 2-dimensional fluoroscopy in patients with distal radius fractures.Radiographic Change in Articular Reduction After Volar Locking Plating for Intra-Articular Distal Radius Fractures
To examine the stability of the articular reduction 12 weeks after intra-articular distal radius fracture (DRF) fixation with a volar locking plate (VLP).
