Abstract:
The indications for osteosynthesis of distal radius fractures with a T-plate have been precisely defined. They include Smith's fractures, Barton's fractures, reversed Barton's fractures and the fracture types A3, C1 and C2 according to the A0 classification. The surgical approach is dorsal for the extension type fractures and palmar for those of the flexion type A. Correct diagnosis and accurate operative technique make it possible to achieve favourable results in the treatment of these often compound fractures. Results are presented for 105 patients who underwent osteosynthesis of distal radius fractures with a T-plate.
