Abstract

Eighteen dorsally displaced fractures of the distal radius were treated by open reduction and internel fixation using the Dorsal Radius Volar (DRV) plating system. The average age at the time of injury was 69 years and the average follow-up period was 24 months. In the majority of cases, the final radiographic and clinical results were satisfactory. According to the Saito Point System, 13 cases had excellent results, and five had good results. The DRV plating system can be an effective technique for the treatment of the fracture of the distal radius.
