The flexor carpi radialis (FCR) approach is widely used for volar plate fixation of distal radius fractures. However, patients sometimes complain of postoperative numbness at the thenar eminence. We propose this is derived from injury to the palmar cutaneous branch of the median nerve (PCBm). From March 2010 to March 2012, we performed 10 operations of volar plate fixation for distal radius fractures using the FCR approach. We detected the PCBm intraoperatively and investigated the anatomy.Introduction
