Abstract
Open reduction and volar neutralization plate fixation avoids problems associated with dorsal plate fixation (eg, extensor tenosynovitis and tendon rupture) and minimizes the necessity for secondary plate removal. Volar plating is a useful technique for treating dorsally displaced distal radius fractures with minimal scarring, infrequent bone grafting, and safe early wrist mobilization.
