“…[28] Comparisons of percutaneous pinning and plaster vs external fixation [17, 30], external fixation with or without supplemental K-wire fixation [26], bridging and nonbridging external fixation [50]; or volar vs dorsal plate fixation have also shown limited differences. [43] Prospective and retrospective cohorts support volar plate fixation [35–37], dorsal plate fixation [39–41, 47], combined dorsal and volar plate fixation [41, 42], various types of external fixators [1, 2, 5, 7, 9, 10, 17, 18, 20, 26, 29, 30, 44, 48, 50, 51], and fragment specific fixation [46]. However, it is difficult to make scientifically valid conclusions based upon these data.…”

A change in the practice of a single surgeon provided an opportunity for retrospective comparison of comparable cohorts treated with percutaneous fixation (17 patients) or a volar plate and screws (23 patients) an average of 30 months after surgery. The final evaluation was performed according to the Gartland and Werley and Mayo rating systems and the DASH questionnaire. There were no significant differences on the average scores for the percutaneous and volar plating groups, respectively: Gartland and Werley, 4 vs 5; Mayo, 82 vs 83; and DASH score 13 for both cohorts. Motion, grip, and radiographical parameters were likewise comparable. Volar internal plate and screw fixation can achieve results comparable to percutaneous fixation techniques in the treatment of fractures of the distal radius.
