When it comes to plating, patients with highly comminuted distal radius fractures should not receive a volar plate, according to Kakar. Instead, he noted patients with highly comminuted fractures ...

Melone described a fracture ... was too comminuted and another consisted only of a dorsal rim fracture. The intra-articular fracture lines of dorsally displaced distal radius fractures follow ...

We examined the radiographic outcomes of a consecutive series of patients with comminuted intra-articular distal radius fractures not amenable to volar locked plating, who were treated with a DSP.

Repeat radiographs (Figures 1 and 2) of the left wrist revealed a comminuted distal radius fracture with possible intra-articular extension but no significant displacement or angulation.
