BACKGROUND

In our institution we use the Winklestabile volar locking plate for operative fixation of distal radius fractures. This study aims to assess subjective and objective outcomes using this method of treatment.

METHODS

A total of 21 patients who underwent ORIF of distal radius fractures with the Winklestable plate in 2005 with a minimum follow up of 12 months were assessed using the Patient Rated Wrist Evaluation (PRWE) questionnaire and the Disabilities of the Arm Shoulder and Hand (DASH) score. Range of wrist movement (ROM), grip strength and pinchgrip strength were assessed by comparison with the unaffected wrist.
