Abstract
Fractures of the distal radius occur commonly, and volar plating has emerged as a current, successful, and popular treatment for this injury. When this technology fails, salvage procedures must be selected that aim to maximize wrist motion and minimize pain. We present a case of volar radioscapholunate wrist arthrodesis in the setting of unfeasible intraoperative volar osteotomy to treat a malunited distal radius fracture.
