Abstract
Five patients with a volar marginal articular fracture with dislocation (complete loss of apposition of the articular surfaces) were treated with open reduction and internal plate fixation. This is an unusual type of volar shearing fracture and represents the volar type of radiocarpal fracture-dislocation. The results of treatment were comparable to other volar shearing type fractures.
