Abstract: In the recent years, treatment of distal radius fractures (DRF) has advanced considerably. Surgical fixation with palmar angular stable plate has gained popularity, due to a reported lower complication rate when compared to dorsal fixation. The type of trauma or injury, surgical procedure and impaired bone quality are all contributors to complications in DRF. The main aim of this review is to summarize the most common complications and possible therapeutic solutions. In addition, strategies for minimizing these complications will be discussed.

Biomechanical considerations on a CT-based treatment-oriented classification in radius fractures
W. Hintringer,R Rosenauer,Ch. Pezzei,S. Quadlbauer,J Jurkowitsch,T. Keuchel,T Hausner,M. Leixnering,H. Krimmer +8 more
TL;DR: This article attempts to define certain key fragments, which seem crucial to reduce and stabilize each type of DRF, and an ideal implant can be selected to sufficiently maintain reduction of these key fragments.
Indications, surgical approach, reduction, and stabilization techniques of distal radius fractures.
M. Leixnering,R Rosenauer,Ch. Pezzei,J Jurkowitsch,T. Beer,T. Keuchel,D. Simon,T Hausner,S. Quadlbauer +8 more
TL;DR: The available evidence for indications, approaches, reduction, and fixation techniques in treating DRF is addressed and which operative approach and fixation technique would produce the best postoperative functional results with lowest complication rates is addressed.

Arthroscopic assisted treatment of distal radius fractures and concomitant injuries
TL;DR: The literature that the functional outcome correlates with the use of arthroscopy, is limited, and insight into the authors’ opinions and practice is given.
Functional and radiological outcome of distal radius fractures stabilized by volar-locking plate with a minimum follow-up of 1 year.

TL;DR: Stabilization of DRF by palmar angular stable locking plate is a safe form of treatment and results in a good clinical and radiological outcome with low complication rate, according to a main aim of this study.

Corrective osteotomy after malunited distal radius fractures.
TL;DR: Early correction using the available fixed-angle devices, cancellous bone grafting only becomes necessary in larger bony defects, and Premounting the plate through a palmar approach with regard to the desired correction angles leads to predictable results by precise correction.

Comparison of lateral and skyline fluoroscopic views for detection of prominent screws in distal radius fractures plating: results of an ultrasonographic study
Olivier Herisson,Caroline Delaroche,Sandrine Maillot-Roy,Alain Sautet,Levon Doursounian,Adeline Cambon-Binder +5 more
TL;DR: The Skyline view with traditional lateral fluoroscopic views using ultrasonography as a reference standard in the postoperative assessment does not provide sensitive and reliable detection of the dorsal screw penetration.

Acute atraumatic carpal tunnel syndrome due to flexor tendon rupture following palmar plate osteosynthesis in a patient taking rivaroxaban.
TL;DR: Therapy with anticoagulants may increase hematoma after tendon rupture, thus supporting the development of an atraumatic acute carpal tunnel syndrome and complicating the surgical therapy.

TL;DR: It is found that the FPL volar locking plate and decreased volar tilt significantly reduced the plate-tendon contact area compared with the standard volarlocking plate.

Positioning of a Volar Locking Plate with a Central Flexor Pollicis Longus Tendon Notch in Distal Radius Fractures.
TL;DR: It seems advantageous to place the plate notch within a corridor parallel to the radial shaft between the ulnar edge of the scaphoid tubercle and the scapholunate interval for the FPL tendon protection.
