Salvage of Distal Radius Nonunion With a Dorsal Spanning Distraction Plate
Salvage of Distal Radius Nonunion With a Dorsal Spanning Distraction Plate JOURNAL OF HAND SURGERY-AMERICAN VOLUME Mithani, S. K., Srinivasan, R. C., Kamal, R., Richard, M. J., Leversedge, F. J., Ruch, D. S. 2014; 39 (5): 981-984Abstract
Treatment of nonunion after previous instrumentation of distal radius fractures represents a reconstructive challenge. Resultant osteopenia provides a poor substrate for fixation, often necessitating wrist fusion for salvage. A spanning dorsal distraction plate (bridge plate) can be a useful adjunct to neutralize forces across the wrist, alone or in combination with nonspanning plates to achieve union, salvage wrist function, and avoid wrist arthrodesis in distal radius nonunion.
