Background: Distal radius fractures are one of the most common injuries treated by an orthopaedic surgeon, accounting for approximately one sixth of all fractures. Due to increase in incidence of high velocity trauma, the injury is seen occurring in young patients more often. A displaced fracture deranges the wrist anatomy causing deformity and loss of function at the wrist joint. Objectives: To Study the clinical outcome of intra and extra-articular fracture of distal end of radius treated with open reduction and internal fixation by plating through a volar approach. Material and Methods: Our study was a hospital-based study conducted during the Two Years. At PMCH, Patna. A total of 30 patients who visited the OPD or ER of our hospital, diagnosed with distal radius fracture and met the said criteria were included in the study. They were treated with ORIF with a volar plate. They were followed up and clinical and radiological outcomes were evaluated. Conclusion: From this study we conclude that ORIF with volar plating can provide good clinical and functional outcome in distal radius fractures. Anatomical reduction of the fracture fragments is the key in achieving good results.
