Percutaneous pinning versus volar locking plate fixation for dorsally displaced distal radius fractures- reoperation rates over an eight year period.
To compare reoperation rates between closed reduction with percutaneous pinning (CRPP) and internal fixation with a volar locking plate (VLP) for the treatment of distal radius fractures. ⋯ Overall reoperation rates were similar between both techniques however there were differences in complication profile and nature of revision surgery. This information is useful when discussing treatment options with patients to help guide selection of the best procedure for that individual.
