Arthroscopic assisted internal fixation of volar intraarticular wrist fractures

Open reduction internal fixation of displaced volar intraarticular distal radius fractures traditionally require sacrificing the volar ligaments to visualize the articular surface. We present a modification of standard arthroscopy that facilitates visualization of the radiocarpal joint while preserv...

Summary:Open reduction internal fixation of displaced volar intraarticular distal radius fractures traditionally require sacrificing the volar ligaments to visualize the articular surface. We present a modification of standard arthroscopy that facilitates visualization of the radiocarpal joint while preserving these ligaments.
