AbstractAbstract PDF
PURPOSE
To compare the outcomes of distal radius fractures in a fixed-angle volar locking plate group and variable-angle volar locking plate group.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Forty-one patients observed at least 6 months after surgery were included in this retrospective study. We used the range of motion, visual analogue scale score, Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand Questionnaire score, and radiologic findings to measure the clinical results.
RESULTS
No differences in clinical results or radiologic results were noted between the fixed-angle volar locking plate group and variable-angle volar locking plate group.
CONCLUSION
We believe that it is important to minimize complications by using appropriate screws and plates according to the fracture type, though no differences in the surgical outcome were noted between the fixed-angle volar locking plate group and variable-angle volar locking plate group with distal radius fracture.
