Abstract

Distal radius fractures accounts for around 15% of all fractures diagnosed and treated in the emergency rooms. These fractures usually common in elderly patients due to trivial fall as a result of osteoporosis and due to high velocity injury such as a motor vehicle accident or fall on an out stretched hand in the young. Volar Locking Compression Plates (LCP) is effective devices for fixation of the distal radius fractures1.
