| Abstrakt: | Distal radius fractures are the most common upper extremity fracture and volar locking plate fixation has become a common modality for operative management of these injuries over the last 2 decades. However, despite the widespread use of volar locking plates, there remains no comprehensive guide detailing the available reduction techniques using these systems. This review aims to consolidate the reduction techniques from the literature along with the authors' experiences into a blueprint for distal radius fracture reduction when using a volar plate. Techniques described include those with and without use of the plate and with supplementary means of fixation for both extra-articular and intra-articular fracture patterns. Competing Interests: Conflicts of Interest and Source of Funding: The authors report no conflicts of interest and no source of funding. (Copyright © 2022 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.
