Abstract:

OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect and clinical value of different types of plates in the treatment of unstable fractures of distal radius.
METHODS: With key words “locked compression plate, T plate, distal radius, fracture, internal fixation” in Chinese and English, articles published between February 2006 and March 2010 were searched by computer. Articles related to internal fixation of unstable fractures of distal radius were included. Repetitive articles or Meta analysis was excluded. A total of 28 articles were selected.
RESULTS: The unstable fractures of distal radius are frequently treated using T plate, locked compression plate, axial locked plate and π plate. Locked plate can provide biological stability and has been widely used clinically.
CONCLUSION: Plate can obtain favorable effects in the treatment of unstable fractures of distal radius. Compared with common T plate, locked plate can provide better fracture block stability and protect blood supply with fewer complications.
