Abstract:Aim: Volar locking plates designed for far distal radius fracture fixation can have a significant hardware removal rate and risk of tendon rupture. Plate design has a role in the rate of complications. This study assessed the hardware removal and tendon rupture rate of the Acu-Loc 2 volar distal radius (VDR) plate often used in the treatment of far distal radial fractures.
Method: We searched our electronic healthcare records system for all patients who had undergone fixation with an Acu-Loc 2 VDR p… Show more
