Distal radius fractures remain among the most common fractures of the upper extremity. The
indications for operative management continue to evolve based on outcomes from the most …

To position the volar plate on the distal radius fracture site, the pronator quadratus muscle
needs to be detached from its distal and radial side and lifted for optimal exposure to the …

Background and objectives Early therapeutic exercises are vital for the healing of distal
radius fractures (DRFs) treated with the volar locking plate. However, current development of …

Background: Tendon-related complications after plate fixation of distal radius fractures can
cause significant morbidity in the patient. This retrospective systematic review aims to report …

Background The purpose of the present study was to investigate the influence of the
pronator quadratus (PQ) muscle repair following volar plate fixation of distal radius fractures …

Background Implants based on the polyetheretherketon (PEEK) polymer have been
developed in the last decade as an alternative to conventional metallic devices. PEEK …

Background Indication of volar locking plate (VLP) removal after bony healing of distal
radius fracture (DRF) is controversial. Studies with various range of removal rate were …

Background Distal radius fracture (DRF) is the most common upper extremity fracture that
requires surgery. Operative treatment with a volar locking plate has proved to be the …

Purpose This systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to compare functional
outcomes with or without pronator quadratus (PQ) repair after volar plate fixation of distal …

Aims The aim of this study was to investigate the difference in functional outcome after repair
and non-repair of the pronator quadratus muscle in patients undergoing surgical treatment …
