Abstract
Surgical treatment options for distal radius fractures are many and commonly involve volar locked plating. More recently, newer volar locking plates have been introduced to the market that allow the placement of independent distal subchondral variable-angle locking screws to better achieve targeted fracture fixation. This article reviews this new technology and presents the authors' experience with the Aptus (Medartis, Kennett Square, Pennsylvania) variable-angle volar locking plates.
