Biomechanical Stability of Volar Plate Only Versus Addition of Dorsal Ulnar Pin Plate: A Dorsal Ulnar Fragment, C-3–Type, Distal Radius, Cadaver Fracture Model

Conclusions: The addition of a dorsal ulnar pin plate improved stability characteristics with respect to the dorsal ulnar fragment. Clinical Relevance: The addition of the dorsal ulnar pin plate, although statistically significant, improved displacement by less than 0.3 mm on average and thus may not prove to be important in clinical scenarios.
