Clinical and Radiographic Outcomes of Gap Osteotomy Versus Dorsal Opening Wedge Osteotomy for Extra-Articular Distal Radius Malunion and Internal Fixation Using a Volar Locking Plate Without Bone Graft

Clinical and Radiographic Outcomes of Gap Osteotomy Versus Dorsal Opening Wedge Osteotomy for Extra-Articular Distal Radius Malunion and Internal Fixation Using a Volar Locking Plate Without Bone Graft

Purpose: Metaphyseal corrective osteotomy and fixed-angle volar locking plate fixation have reduced the need for additional bone grafting in symptomatic distal radius malunions. This study evaluated the outcomes of gap versus dorsal opening wedge and locking plate fixation without bone grafts for di...
