Effect of distal screw number on axial deformation and fragment-specific stability in AO/OTA 2R3 C2.1 distal radius fractures

PURPOSE: To investigate the biomechanical influence of distal screw number in palmar plate fixation of unstable intra-articular distal radius fractures with radiodorsal metaphyseal comminution. METHODS: Nine matched pairs of cryopreserved human radii were prepared using a standar...
