Avoiding complication of volar locked plates

Author: Marcos Sanmartin Fernandez

Published in: BMC Proceedings | Special Issue 3/2015

Excerpt

Volar locking plates are designed to improve and maintain anatomic alignment, even in patients with dorsal comminution and poor metaphyseal bone quality. Its widespread use led to specific complications. Most part is related to tendon, nerve and complex regional pain syndrome [1] and could be avoided by meticulous attention to detail and surgical experience [2]. …
