title: Fixation of an ulnodorsal fragment when treating an intra-articular fracture in the distal radius.
abstract: If fixation of an ulnodorsal fragment in an intra-articular fracture of the distal radius is not stable, it is sometimes caused by dorsal displacement after surgery. Hence, we recommend the volar plate fixation with an additional dorsal approach and fixation of irreducible ulnodorsal fragments using a low-profile dorsal mini plate. The details of the surgical procedure and indications are discussed in this article.
