Using self-drilling screws in volar plate osteosynthesis for distal radius fractures: a feasibility study

BACKGROUND: Symptomatic extensor tendon irritation is a frequent complication in volar plate osteosynthesis of distal radius fractures. It is typically caused by dorsal screw protrusion and overdrilling of the dorsal cortex. The use of self-drilling locking screws (SDLS) could overcome both causes....
