Volar locking plate fixation for intra-articular distal radius fractures with volar lunate facet fragments distal to the watershed line.

CONCLUSIONS: Distally placed volar locking plate fixation effectively treats intra-articular distal radius fractures with VLF fragments distal to the watershed line by stabilizing the fragments. However, small displaced VLF fragments may increase the risk of reduction loss in ulnar variance. PMID: 31611505 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
