VOLAR SPANNING PLATE FIXATION FOR A DISTAL RADIUS FRACTURE

Volar spanning plate fixation for a distal radius fracture

A comminuted distal radial fracture is sometimes so fragmented that it is impossible to treat it with fixation using a plate and screws.In this case, we can perform a bridging fracture and joints with an external fixator or a dorsal spanning plate.Unfortunately, both methods completely immobilize the wrist until the implants are removed.In the arti
