“…Volar plating is designed to allow direct reduction, solid fixation and early mobilization of wrist fractures. The construction of a fixed angle provides a strong fixation in osteoporotic bone and comminuted fractures [18]. It exploits the anatomy of the volar distal radius and aims to avoid the soft tissue complications observed with dorsal plates [18].…”

“…The construction of a fixed angle provides a strong fixation in osteoporotic bone and comminuted fractures [18]. It exploits the anatomy of the volar distal radius and aims to avoid the soft tissue complications observed with dorsal plates [18]. A number of studies have shown that bridging external fixation, non-bridging external fixation, K-wire fixation, plaster fixation, dorsal plating, volar plating and dorsal and volar plating have high efficacy for DRF treatment [12, 17, 19].…”

IntroductionUsing network meta-analysis, we evaluated the adverse effects of the seven most common treatment methods, i.e., bridging external fixation, non-bridging external fixation, K-wire fixation, plaster fixation, dorsal plating, volar plating, and dorsal and volar plating, by their associated risk of developing complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) in distal radius fracture (DRF) patients.Material and methodsFollowing an exhaustive search of scientific literature databases for high quality studies, randomized controlled trials (RCTs) related to our study topic were screened and selected based on stringent predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data extracted from the selected studies were used for statistical analyses using Stata 12.0 software.ResultsA total of 17 RCTs, including 1658 DRF patients, were enrolled in this network meta-analysis. Among the 1658 DRF patients, 452 received bridging external fixation, 525 received non-bridging external fixation, 154 received K-wire fixation, 84 received plaster fixation, 132 received dorsal plating, 123 received volar plating, and 188 received dorsal and volar plating. When compared to bridging external fixation patients, there was no marked difference in the CRPS risk in DRF patients receiving different treatments (all p > 0.05). However, the surface under the cumulative ranking curves (SUCRA) for plaster fixation (77.0%) and non-bridging external fixation (71.3%) were significantly higher compared with the other five methods.ConclusionsOur findings suggest that compared with bridging external fixation, K-wire fixation, dorsal plating, volar plating, dorsal and volar plating, plaster fixation and non-bridging external fixation might be the better treatment methods to reduce the risk of CRPS in DRF patients.
