Conditions

Distal radius fractures are one of the most common fractures, representing 16% of all fractures treated by orthopaedic trauma surgeons. Most distal radius fractures can be treated with closed reduction (when it is displaced) and immobilization in a plaster cast. Indication for operative treatment is instability of the distal radius fracture leading to malunion with poor outcome. Various surgical interventions are available, in which open reduction and internal fixation by plates has gained wide

Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Patients of either sex from the age of 18 years or above; 2. Operative treatment for uunstable distal radius fracture or malunion by open reduction and internal fixation with dorsal or volar plate fixation; 3. At least 24 months of postoperative follow-up.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Open or bilateral fractures, previous fractures of the wrist at the ipsilateral or contralateral arm, wrist fractures in polytraumatized patients, other fractures at the ipsilateral arm, fractures associated with neurovascular injury; 2. Local disorders (e.g., tumors, Paget’s disease); 3. Motor function disorders (e.g., central motor disorder, myasthenia gravis).

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The first objective of this retrospective study is to compare dorsal and volar plate fixation for the treatment of distal radius fractures in a large patient group.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
The second objective is to determine which one is the most appropriate treatment, meaning fewer complications and better functional outcome.	—
