Outcomes of Primary Volar Locking Plate Fixation of Open Distal Radius Fractures.

Few studies have reported the outcomes of primary volar locking plate fixation in Gustilo and Anderson type II and IIIA open distal radius fractures. We report the outcomes of treatment of Gustilo and Anderson type II and IIIA open distal radius fractures using primary volar locking plate fixation. We retrospectively reviewed 24 patients with open distal radius fractures who were treated using primary volar locking plate fixation.
