Treatment of Fractures of the Distal Radius Using Variable-Angle Volar Locking Plate: Jae Cheon Sim, Sung Sik Ha, Ki Do Hong, Tae Ho Kim, Min Chul Sung; J Korean Fract Soc 2015;28(1):46-52. Published online January 31, 2015; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2015.28.1.46

Abstract PDF: PURPOSE
The purpose of this study is to evaluate outcome of variable-angle volar locking plate for treatment of distal radius fractures.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
We retrospectively analyzed the results in 45 cases treated by variable-angle volar locking plate. We evaluated the clinical results according to the Mayo wrist performance scoring system and radiographic results.
RESULTS
All cases had bony union. The mean Mayo wrist performance scoring system was 84.8. Between preoperative and immediate postoperative radiographic measurement, the mean radial length improved from 8.4 to 11.8 mm, radial inclination from 14.2degrees to 22.4degrees, volar tilt from -4.5degrees to 9.6degrees, and intraarticular step-off from 1.8 to 0.3 mm (p<0.05). Between immediate postoperative and latest follow-up radiographic measurements, the mean loss of radial length measured 0.8 mm, radial inclination 0.4degrees, and volar tilt 0.9degrees (p>0.05). All cases showed bone union with no evidence of malunion, nonunion, or metal failure.
CONCLUSION
Treatment of distal radius fractures using variable angle volar locking plate showed satisfactory outcomes. It is a good option to obtain stable fixation without significant loss of reduction.

2.4 mm Volar Locking Compression Plate for Treatment of Unstable Distal Radius Fractures: Sung Jin Kim, Chul Hyun Cho; J Korean Fract Soc 2011;24(2):151-155. Published online April 30, 2011; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2011.24.2.151

PURPOSE
To evaluate outcomes 2.4 mm volar locking compression plate for treatment of unstable distal radius fractures.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
We retrospectively analyzed the results in 22 cases, which were treated by 2.4 mm volar locking compression plate. We evaluated the clinical results according to the Mayo wrist performance scoring system and radiographic results.
RESULTS
All cases had bony union. The mean Mayo wrist performance score was 85.23. Between preoperative and immediate postoperative radiographic measurements, the mean radial length was improved from 6.04 mm to 9.68 mm, radial inclination from 15.61degrees to 19.61degrees, volar tilt from -13.73degrees to 7.66degrees and intraarticular step-off from 0.79 mm to 0.33 mm (p<0.05). Between immediate postoperative and latest follow-up radiographic measurements, the mean loss of radial length measured 0.86 mm, radial inclination 0.41degrees, volar tilt 0.54degrees and intraarticular step-off 0.02 mm (p>0.05). Postoperative complication included that flexor pollicis longus and 2nd flexor digitorum profundus were ruptured in 1 case.
CONCLUSION
Treatment of unstable distal radius fractures using a 2.4 mm volar locking compression plate showed satisfactory outcomes. It is a good option to obtain stable fixation without significant loss of reduction.

PURPOSE
To evaluate outcomes volar T-locking compression plate for treatment of unstable distal radius fractures.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
We retrospectively analysed the results in 35 cases, which were treated by volar plating with T-LCP. We evaluated the clinical results according to the Mayo wrist scoring system and radiographic results.
RESULTS
The mean score was 83.86 respectively. Between preoperative and immediate postoperative radiographic measurements, averaged radial length was improved from 5.75 mm to 11.53 mm, radial inclination from 12.86 degrees to 22.56 degrees, volar tilt from -3.64 degrees to 9.90 degrees and intraarticular step-off from 1.48 mm to 0.42 mm. Between immediate postoperative and latest follow-up radiographic measurements, mean loss of radial length measured 0.43 mm, radial inclination 0.46 degrees, volar tilt 0.89 degrees.
CONCLUSION
Treatment of unstable distal radius fractures using a volar T-LCP showed satisfactory outcomes. We think that it is good surgical option to allow return to daily living, result in early postsurgical wrist motion.
