Özet

Objectives: The incidence of osteosynthesis is increased by volar anatomic plate used for treatment of distal radius fractures and this increases the incidence of wrist extensor tendon irritation, a postoperative complication of the aforementioned surgical technique. The purpose of this study; was to evaluate the intraoperative skyline view which is commonly used to prevent dorsal cortex penetration of distal screws during the surgical treatment of intra-articular distal radius fractures with comminuted dorsal cortex with CT (computed tomography) scanning to determine its effectiveness. In the literature review, no other study focused on similar fracture types was found.
