Abstract :

 Background: Intra–articular lower end radius particularly Volar Barton’s fractures are more common in young adults and associated with significant deformity if not treated effectively. Open reduction with buttress plating or closed reduction with external fixation and percutaneous Kirschner wire fixation are two modalities being used most of the times and both having good results.

Method: Retrospective analysis of 50 cases of volar Barton’s fracture treated with plating or external fixator and kirschner wire with at least 12 months of follow–up were studied and results were obtained.

Results: All patient were having good radiological and functional result. 1 major complication and 2 minor complication were there in plating cases while 4 minor complications were there in patient treated with external fixation.

Conclusion: Both the above mentioned surgical techniques give a high success rate.

Despite the fact that each technique has advantages and disadvantages, the results from the plating treatment seem to be superior.
