Fixation of the Volar Ulnar Corner in Distal Radius Fractures: A Comparative Study
This study suggests that not all VUC injuries require specific VUC fixation, and we may be overtreating distal radius fractures that have a VUC component. Fellowship-trained hand surgeons are more likely to employ VUC-specific fixation methods. Additional studies are warranted to determine whether other considerations such as dynamic testing intraoperatively are worthwhile.
