Meta Analysis Comparative Study
Complications following dorsal versus volar plate fixation of distal radius fracture: a meta-analysis.
A meta-analysis to compare complication rates following volar or dorsal surgical fixation of distal radius fracture. ⋯ Dorsal fixation offers a lower risk of neuropathy and carpal tunnel syndrome than the volar approach, but a higher risk of tendon irritation. Patients with a distal radius fracture can expect similar outcomes after volar or dorsal surgery.
