Summary
T-type titanium plate fixation for volar Barton
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Traumatology
- Skeletal Fixation
Background:
- Volar Barton's fracture is a specific type of distal radius fracture.
- Effective treatment is crucial for restoring wrist function.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess the surgical technique and clinical outcomes of treating volar Barton's fractures using T-type titanium plate internal fixation.
Main Methods:
- Open reduction and internal fixation with a T-type titanium plate were performed on 18 patients.
- Patients were followed up for an average of 13 months.
Main Results:
- All 18 patients achieved solid bone union.
- 94.4% of patients had excellent or good clinical outcomes (12 excellent, 5 good).
- Radiographic measurements confirmed anatomical reduction without radial shortening.
Conclusions:
- T-type titanium plate fixation provides stable internal fixation for volar Barton's fractures.
- This method facilitates anatomical reduction and promotes functional wrist recovery.
- It is considered an ideal treatment option for volar Barton's fractures.
