U.S., May 16 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT06972550) titled 'Volar Locked Plating for Distal Radius Fractures: Should the Pronator Quadratus Be Spared?' on May 03.

Brief Summary: Volar locked plates for the distal radius fractures (DRFs) are applied through the Henry approach and it's modification, this approach entails a routine step to disinsert the pronator quadratus from it's radial and distal attachment. This muscle insertion is mostly fleshy with minimal tendinous tissue and surgeons find it difficult to reattach at the end of the surgery, the hardware come in direct contact with the flexor tendons.
