    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the operative method and the clinical efficacy of volar Barton's fracture treated by internal fixation with T type titanium plate. METHODS: We performed the operation of the open reduction and internal fixation with T type titanium plate in 18 patients with volar Barton's fracture. RESULTS: The 18 patients were followed up after the operation at the average time of 13 months (6 to 31 months). X radiographs showed that all patients achieved solid bone union. Mehara's evaluation for volar Barton's fracture revealed excellent outcome in 12 patients, good in 5 patients, and fair in 1 patients. The excellent and good rate of clinical results was 94.4%. X-radiographs showed that the volar tilting angle was 8-18 (mean=11.0) degree, and the ulnar inclining angle was 16-26 (mean=22.4) degree. There was no shortening of the radius. CONCLUSION: The operative treatment with titanium T type plate fixation for volar Barton's fracture is in favor of fracture anatomic reduction, solid internal fixation, and catagmatic concrescence. It is beneficial for functional recovery of the wrist at the utmost. The outcome in the near future is satisfactory. It is an ideal method for volar Barton's fracture.
