title: [Osteosynthesis of distal radius fractures by doral plate: advantages and disadvantages].
abstract: Distal radius fractures remain a challenge. No one osteosynthesis procedure can solve all the problems. A method of analysis is necessary in order to choose the best tools. Open treatment of the fracture is logical but rarely performed. A review of the literature and the experience of the authors are reported in order to analyse the correct place of dorsal plating in distal radius fracture with dorsal displacement. The learning curve of the operative procedure and the design of the implants can explain the occurrence of several complications. The dorsal plate is effective against secondary dorsal displacement. This demanding procedure must be compared with other reported procedures (pining and external fixator) to define the advantages and disadvantages.
