Abstract
SUMMARY: Volar fixed-angle plate fixation is a commonly used treatment modality for distal radius fractures. However, not all fracture patterns are amenable to this type of fixation strategy. In this article, we review pertinent anatomy and radiographic landmarks that together highlight key differences when considering treatment strategies for complex distal radius fractures.
