Volar fixed-angle plating means... volar plating for distal radius fractures using locking plates dorsal fixed-angle construct fracture void Not depending on the buttress effect. Reducing dorsal fragments indirectly. Using a locking plate to support the subchondral bone.
Advantages of volar fixed-angle plating Preserving the vascular supply of dorsally comminuted fragments. Reducing Reducing the need of bone grafting. Fewer Fewer soft tissue and tendon problem. Providing Providing rigid fixation that permit early rehabilitation program. Having Having an advantage with fractures in osteoporotic bone.

Indications for volar fixed-angle plating Definitive indication Fractures involving displaced and rotated volar lunate-facet palmar Relative indication Dorsally displaced fractures with depressed dorsal lunate-facet dorsal Unstable extra-articular articular fractures including osteoporotic bone Volar Barton fractures

Surgical techniques of volar fixed-angle plating
Henry Approach FPL Radial artery incision Expose fracture through Henry approach to diminish flexor adhesion. Make surgical incision between FCR and radial artery. Retract the flexor tendon ulnary. Retract the radial artery radialy. Detach the pronator quadratus. Open the carpal tunnel through the 2nd incision, if necessary.

Initial plate placement temporary plate fixation lift off Apply plate to the volar aspect of articular fragments. Determine ideal plate position with fluoroscopy. The proximal portion of plate is lifted off the radius during initial plate placement.
To restore volar tilt to normal... the angle of the plate in relation to the long axis of the radius B A A=B deformity to be corrected
Drilling drill Facet lateral fluoroscopic view drill hole in subchondral position Residual step off Use facet lateral fluoroscopic view to control drilling. Make holes in the subchondral position. Lift articular fragments using drill bit to reduce residual step-off deformity,if necessary. Avoid penetrating the dorsal cortex.
Distal pin insertion pins in subchondral position Insert fixed-angle pins in subchondral position.
Final plate fixation ulnar view palmar view Advance the plate distally to correct radial shortening,if necessary. Complete fixation of the plate to the shaft with bi-cortical screw, resulting in increased volar tilt. Assess the the stability of the DRUJ.

Postoperative care Splint the wrist in extended, postoperatively. Instruct Instruct the patients to begin active finger motion immediately. Begin Begin active wrist motion at 1 to 2 weeks postoperatively. Begin Begin passive stretching of wrist at 3 to 4 weeks postoperatively. Use Use a removable wrist splint for 4 weeks postoperatively.
