AJ Bakker, AY Shin Techniques in Hand & Upper Extremity Surgery, 18(1), 56–60 Abstract: The volar lunate facet/volar marginal rim fragment of distal radius fractures is a challenging problem for current volar plating systems to adequately maintain internal fixation. Fragment-specific wireforms and other constructs can be used to capture these difficult
CM Henn, SW Wolfe Sports Medicine and Arthroscopy Review, 22(1), 29–38 Abstract: Fractures of the distal radius are common injuries in both athletes and nonathletes. Management is dictated by the nature of the fracture and the patient's level of competition, age, and sport-specific demands. Treatment strategies range from nonoperative treatment for

O’Shaughnessy M, Shin, AY, Kakar S The Journal of Hand Surgery, 40(8), 1563–1570 Purpose: To review the outcomes of patients treated with a volar hook plate, specifically designed to capture volar marginal rim fractures. Methods: A retrospective study was performed over 18 months of patients treated with volar hook plate in
Lauder A, Agnew S, Karim B, Allan C, Hanel D, Huang J The Journal of Hand Surgery, 40(8), 1554–1562 Purpose: To determine the functional outcomes of patients treated with dorsal spanning distraction bridge plate fixation for distal radius fractures. Methods: All adult patients at our institution who underwent treatment of a
Mehrzad R, MD, Kim DC, MD Annals of Plastic Surgery, 2016, Dec, Volume 77, Number 4, Pages 623-625 Background: Distal radius fractures are common, accounting for approximately 18% of all fractures in adults. Operative management is common, and there are numerous variants of plates used. However, data on safety and complication
Rhee, PC, DO, MS, Medoff, RJ, MD, Shin, AY, MD Journal American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. 2017, February. Volume 25, Issue 2, Page 77-88 Abstract: Most distal radius fractures result from low-energy mechanisms and can be successfully treated nonsurgically or with a variety of surgical techniques if indicated. High-energy distal radius
