Abstract
Dorsal wrist spanning plating has proven to be an effective, reliable, and versatile tool in the treatment of distal radius fractures and numerous other carpal conditions. Despite its shortcomings including a necessary second procedure for implant removal, this technique remains a very useful option in the upper extremity surgeon's toolbox. This article reviews the historical development, expanding indications, and technical details of temporary wrist spanning plate fixation.
