Abstract :

Background: Volar Barton’s fracture is a common problem among the distal radius fracture. Volar articular margin is displaced and inherently unstable fracture. Objectives: Aim of this study is to assess outcome after stabilization of the fracture with locking buttress plate in terms of stability, functional recovery and operative complications. Method: This study was carried out in the department of Orthopaedics of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Bangladesh for the duration of 2.5 years. Within this period 30 patients of Volar Barton’s fracture were selected as per inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: In the final follow–up 6.7% had excellent scores, 73.3% had good scores and 20% fair scores on the basis of anatomical outcome. However, 90% had satisfactory functional outcomes on the basis of modified Mayo’s wrist scoring system. Conclusion: The Volar buttress plate is found to be an effective technique of fixation. The Volar locking buttress plate maintains articular congruity, radial length and alignment.
