Fractures of the distal radius are common. As the population of the western world ages, their incidence is set to increase further. There are various methods of treating these fractures, but optimal management remains controversial. In the United Kingdom, the most common surgical treatment of closed distal radius fractures is by Kirschner-wires (K-wires) or volar locking plate. In this study, we compared long-term functional outcomes of volar locking plates with those of K-wires.
