Functional Outcome of Fixation of Complex Intra-articular Distal Radius Fractures with a Variable-Angle Distal Radius Volar Rim Plate

[摘要] Aim To evaluate the outcome of these complex fractures using a volar approach and the DePuy Synthes variable-angle 2.4-mm distal radius rim plate. This plate is precontoured to the volar rim for placement distal to the watershed line allowing purchase of the rim fragment of the lunate facet. Its low profile and smooth edges are designed to minimize flexor tendon irritation.
