To evaluate the functional and radiological outcome of fracture distal end radius treated with volar plating

Abstract

The aim of this study is to assess the radiological and functional outcomes of open reduction and internal fixation with volar locking plates in the treatment of unstable intra-articular distal radius fractures. In this study functional evaluation was performed using the modified Gartland–Werley scoring system and for the radiological assessment, radial inclination, volar tilt and radial height was compared pre and post operatively.
