Volar Fixed-Angle Plating of Distal Radius Extension Fractures: Influence of Plate Position on Secondary Loss of Reduction-A Biomechanic Study in a Cadaveric Model

To maintain radial length after volar fixed-angle plating, placement of the distal screws as subchondral as possible is essential. The subchondral plate-screw-bone constructs showed significantly greater rigidity, indicating higher resistance to postoperative loads and displacement forces.
