  • Title: A revolution in the management of fractures of the distal radius?
    Author: Downing ND, Karantana A.
    Journal: J Bone Joint Surg Br; 2008 Oct; 90(10):1271-5. PubMed ID: 18827233.
    Abstract:
    The recent development of locking-plate technology has led to a potential revolution in the management of fractures of the distal radius. This review examines the evidence for pursuing anatomical restoration of the distal radius and the possible advantages and pitfalls of using volar locking plates to achieve this goal. The available evidence for adopting volar locking plates is presented and a number of important and, as yet unanswered, questions are highlighted.
