Asymptomatic Flexor Tendon Damages after Volar Locking Plate Fixation of Distal Radius Fractures.
To investigate asymptomatic flexor tendon damages after volar locking plate fixation of distal radius fractures in 32 wrists of 32 patients with distal radius fractures fixed using two plate types. Sixteen patients received the Acu-Loc volar distal radius plate, and the remaining 16 patients received the Aptus distal radius correction plate. ⋯ The type of plate and larger FPL angle on ultrasonography may be the risk factors for flexor tendon damage.
