Volar Locking Plate Breakage after Nonunion of a Distal Radius Osteotomy

Figure 1

(a-b) Plain radiographs preoperative images showed DR malunion with a loss of volar tilt (−15°), radial inclination (20°), and positive ulnar variance (6 mm). (c-d) Postoperative radiographs showed DR osteotomy with a correction of volar tilt (2°), radial inclination (22°), and ulnar variance (0 mm).
