Abstract
The dorsal spanning wrist plate is an important tool in the treatment of comminuted, intra-articular, and displaced distal radius fractures (OTA/AO C3). The dorsal spanning plate allows for secondary bone healing in patients when it is not possible to achieve a stable reduction through a standard plate due to polytrauma, fracture morphology, degree of comminution, and/or poor native bone biology.
