Comparing Clinical and Radiological Outcomes of Volar Plating with Alternative Treatments for Distal Radius Fractures

Abstract

Introduction: Fractures at the distal end of the radius pose a significant issue in orthopedic practice, representing a substantial proportion of upper extremity fractures. The functional results of these fractures may be impacted by problems like carpal instability, diminished grip strength, and malunion. The current research aims to evaluate the anatomical and functional outcomes of open reduction and plate fixation for distal radius fractures(Distal Radius Fractures) and compare them with alternative treatments, considering the potential for improved outcomes with volar plating.
