| Popis: | Internal fixation with volar locking plates has revolutionized the treatment of distal radius fractures. Manufacturers have introduced plate designs that closely follow the anatomy of the distal radius. However, use of volar plates has also led to the emergence of new types of complications. While the use of monoaxial or polyaxial locking screws and of minimally invasive techniques (arthroscopy, preservation of pronator quadratus) increases the cost of the surgical procedure, it results in a tangible benefit for patients, allowing them to move their wrist almost immediately after surgery and to quickly regain their autonomy. We reviewed the literature to analyze the level of proof. |
