Distal radial fractures

评论性概述关于比较掌侧锁定钢板与常规外固定治疗桡骨远端骨折的研究。

Evidence from two small retrospective cohort studies suggests that functional outcomes may be slightly better after volar locking plates compared with regular external fixation for distal radial fractures. Over 2 to 3 years following fixation, one study found pain as measured by visual analog scale （VAS） was less and range of motion was significantly better for volar locking plates. However, only retrospective cohort studies were available, so conclusions cannot be regarded as definitive.
