Clinical Study

Dorsally Comminuted Fractures of the Distal End of the Radius: Osteosynthesis with Volar Fixed Angle Locking Plates

Figure 3

(a), (b) Radiographs at follow-up visit of an AO type C3 fracture of the right wrist which was fixed with volar locking plate. Though we were able to attain adequate reduction for the distal radius, the associated DRUJ (distal radioulnar joint) injury was missed by us. These radiographs show loss of reduction with dorsal subluxation of the carpus and DRUJ disruption.
