The role of fracture reduction and plate position in the aetiology of flexor pollicis longus tendon rupture after volar plate fixation of distal radius fractures

BACKGROUND: Flexor pollicis longus (FPL) rupture has been described as complication following volar plating for distal radius fractures. It has been hypothesised that this is due to plate prominence. The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between sub-optimal plate position and frac...
