Complications Following Internal Fixation of Unstable Distal Radius Fracture With a Palmar Locking-Plate

The increasing number of fixed-angle plate systems used to treat distal radius fractures carries with it the problem of determining the optimal fixation for unstable fractures. Our goal was to analyze the clinical and radiological outcomes of patients with displaced, unstable distal radius fractures treated with a palmar fixed-angle plate.

Prospective protocol; multicenter clinical study; retrospective analysis.
