Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on distal radial fractures and the complications associated with volar locking plate (VLP) fixation, which can lead to implant removal.
  • Researchers analyzed data from 2951 patients, identifying intrinsic (like age and fracture type) and extrinsic (such as plate positioning) risk factors for complications post-fixation.
  • Key findings revealed that being under 62 years old, having a specific type of fracture, and the plate's positioning were significant risk factors for complications that might necessitate implant removal.

The primary aim was to compare the position of six volar wrist plates relative to the watershed line using the Soong classification.
