A Meta-analysis of Studies of Volar Locking Plate Fixation of Distal Radius Fractures: Conventional versus Minimally Invasive Plate Osteosynthesis.

Conclusions: Both conventional and MIPO techniques were effective for patients with distal radius fractures. Despite limited high quality evidence to compare osteosynthesis with a volar locking plate via the conventional and MIPO techniques, the present study showed that the MIPO technique was associated with more favorable patient satisfaction.
