Abstract
In this study we evaluated the functional outcomes of open reduction and internal fixation of distal radius fractures by plate osteosynthesis in considering the parameters like radiological,clinical, and functional outcome in all types of fractures. There blood loss for volar locked plating cases was around 200ml. the pain after the surgery was present equally in all and responses was good to analegesics. It was observed that the plating distal radius is very effective in maintaining length in all types. Good alignment was observed in allmtype of fractures, in case of communited fractures as well. The early recovery and movement in the patients treated with volar locked plating gives a better outcome and good working capacity.
