Distal Radius to Phalangeal Fractures: Versatility of Locking Plates in Hand Trauma

-

 


Hand injuries, especially fractures, are not only common but also often life-altering. Whether it’s a sports-related fall, industrial accident, or a simple household mishap, the consequences can severely impact daily life and occupational function. Among these, fractures ranging from the distal radius down to the phalanges are some of the most frequent, and managing them requires precision, stability, and early mobilization. In recent years, locking plates, especially those designed as hand plates and radius plate systems, have revolutionized the management of hand trauma, offering a reliable, versatile solution for fracture fixation.
