Does the pronator-sparing approach improve functional outcome, compared to a standard volar approach, in volar plating of distal radius fractures? A prospective, randomized controlled trial

Does the pronator-sparing approach improve functional outcome, compared to a standard volar approach, in volar plating of distal radius fractures? A prospective, randomized controlled trial

Abstract Background This study aimed to compare functional outcomes of a volar plate osteosynthesis for distal radius fractures (DRF) performed with either a standard volar approach (SVA), which required detachment of the pronator quadratus muscle, or a pronator-sparing approach (PqSA). Materials an...
