Does the pronator-sparing approach improve functional outcome, compared to a standard volar approach, in volar plating of distal radius fractures? A prospective, randomized controlled trial

ConclusionsThis randomized comparative clinical trial failed to demonstrate that a volar plate osteosynthesis performed with a PqSA could improve the outcome, compared to the SVA, in patients with DRF.Level of evidenceIITrial registration Comparison of Two Volar Plating Systems for Distal Radius Fractures, ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03474445), registered 22 March 2018, retrospectively registered,https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03474445?cond=radius&cntry=AT&draw=2&rank=1
