| Core Tip |
The aim of this study was to determine risk factors for postoperative radial shortening in patients with distal radius fractures treated with volar locking distal radius plates. Retrospective analysis of 250 X-rays and clinical data determined immediate post-operative distance of the distal locking screws from the joint line and degree of radial shortening 6-8 wk post-operatively. Radial shortening was significantly and linearly correlated with increased distance of locking screws from the joint line. No other factor analysed in the study was significant. We recommend subchondral placement of distal locking screws in order to maintain reduction postoperatively. |
