Is the locking, 3.5 mm Palmar T-Plate the implant of choice for displaced distal radius fractures?
According to our results the 3.5 mm T-LCP is a good implant for the stabilisation of displaced distal radius fractures if the fragments are not too small for the 3.5 mm screws. The anatomic reduction is maintained and the X-rays show very good results. Compared with other investigations we must ask ourselves if the benefit of the locking plates justifies its use as compared with non-locking (conventional) plates.
