Conditions
Summary
Local data has shown conflicting results regarding the outcomes of volar locking plates versus external fixators in distal intra-articular radius fractures. Therefore, the current study was planned with the objective of comparing the outcome of a volar locking plate versus an external fixator in distal intra-articular radius fractures.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria4
- Any gender
- Aged 20 to 60
- with intra-articular fractures of the distal radius
- The fracture lasted less than seven days
Exclusion Criteria4
- Patients with bilateral distal radius fractures and any further related injuries or fractures
- Distal radius open fractures
- Individuals receiving immunosuppressive, chemotherapeutic, or corticosteroid medications (based on medical history and records)
- Individuals with underlying medical co-morbidities, such as diabetes and uncontrolled hypertension, (determined by their medical history and record)

Interventions
Patients will be treated with volar locking plates. The distal radius fragments will be stabilized using the conventional modified Henry's volar technique with 2.4 mm locking compression plates.
Patients will be employed with an external fixator, directly fixing to the second or third metacarpal bone using 3-mm pins and the radius using 4-mm Schanz pins.
