Volar Locking Plate Comparison With External Fixator
Sponsor: Muhammad Aamir Latif
Summary
Local data has shown conflicting results regarding the outcomes of volar locking plates versus external fixators in distal intra-articular radius fractures. Therefore, the current study was planned with the objective of comparing the outcome of a volar locking plate versus an external fixator in distal intra-articular radius fractures.
Official title: Comparison of the Outcomes of Volar Locking Plate Versus External Fixator in Distal Intra-articular Radius Fractures.

Conditions
Interventions
Volar locking plates
Patients will be treated with volar locking plates. The distal radius fragments will be stabilized using the conventional modified Henry's volar technique with 2.4 mm locking compression plates.
External Fixator
Patients will be employed with an external fixator, directly fixing to the second or third metacarpal bone using 3-mm pins and the radius using 4-mm Schanz pins.
