Abstract
The dorsal approach to the wrist is challenging because of the high number of extensor tendons crossing the wrist joint and extensor retinaculum (ER) enveloping the distal dorsal end of the radius. Dorsal plating of the radius has gained popularity owing to the concept of fragment-specific fixation of the distal radius. Here, we describe a novel method of selectively sectioning the extensor retinaculum that ensures adequate soft tissue care and good fixation with low-profile implants with good clinico- radiological outcome.
期刊介绍:
Trauma Case Reports is the only open access, online journal dedicated to the publication of case reports in all aspects of trauma care and accident surgery. Case reports on all aspects of trauma management, surgical procedures for all tissues, resuscitation, anaesthesia and trauma and tissue healing will be considered for publication by the international editorial team and will be subject to peer review. Bringing together these cases from an international authorship will shed light on surgical problems and help in their effective resolution.
