About this Scientific Article
Currently, there are numerous dorsal plates for specific fragment fixation with great anatomical adaptation and low profile that have shown efficacy in reducing and fixing articular distal radius fractures. However, in many series, some complications derived from the use of these plates have been observed: symptomatic hardware, tenosynovitis of extensor tendon, tendon rupture, range of flexion loss, neuropathy of the sensory branch of radial nerve, complex regional pain syndrome, etc.
The objective of this study is to describe the radiological and functional results obtained using a technique with a volar locking plate and a dorsal suspension system with button and sutures for minimally invasive fixation of dorsal articular fragments in complex articular distal radius fractures.
