Neglected volar Barton fracture in adult managed in a rural setting: a case report
CONCLUSION: Given the modest tissue shortening and young callus, such cases may be treated as conventional Barton's fractures and managed using conventional means of fixation with locking buttress plates. However, it makes sense to prepare for potential malreduction by carrying K wires and wrist distractions. To restore complete function to the injured wrist, adequate physiotherapy and postoperative splinting are essential components of postoperative rehabilitation.PMID:38576909 | PMC:PMC10990390 | DOI:10.1097/MS9.0000000000001874
