ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate a preliminary outcome of volar surgical treatment of dorsally displaced fractures of distal radius with open reduction and internal fixation with T shape locking compression plate.Methods From January 2009 to January 2012,32 cases with dorsally unstable distal radius fractures were treated with open reduction and internal fixation with T shape locking compression plate.Results All patients were followed; the average follow-up period was 12 (8-18) months.The patients all healed well.According to Dienst scoring system,the results were excellent in 23 cases,good in 7 cases,fair in 2 cases,the excellent and good rate was 93.75％(30/32).Conclusions The volar fixation of T shape locking compression plate for dorsally displaced fractures of distal radius has advantage of stable and reliable,high healing rate,low rate of complications and early motion.It is especially suitable for osteoporosis patients.
