Radial palmar approach locking plate in the treatment of distal radius comminuted fracture

Objective To observe the clinical effect of locking plate for comminuted fracture of the distal radius. Methods 33 cases of distal radius comminuted fracture were selected radial volar open reduction and locking compression plate fixation treatment. Results 33 patients were followed up for 24 ~ 72 weeks,the fracture healing time was 12 ~ 24 weeks,all wounds got healing well,without wrist stiffness and fracture displacement. According to Dienst function evaluation to assess the clinical effect,the results were excellent in 24 cases,good in 7,and fair in 2. The excellent and good rate was 93. 94%. Conclusions The distal radius fracture treated with locking compression plate can be reliably,the wrist function is good.
