Using mini-arthrotomy for dorsal plating to treat intraarticular distal radius fractures: can it improve radiological and clinical outcomes?
Abstract
Using palmar plating to treat complex intraarticular distal radius fractures is standard of care. However, fracture fragments can also be managed using a dorsal approach with arthrotomy, which is useful when treating fractures involving the dorsal joint aspect. We compared radiological and clinical outcomes after dorsal plating with or without an intraoperative arthrotomy.
