Metacarpal Position and Lunate Facet Screw Fixation in Dorsal Wrist-Spanning Bridge Plates for Intra-Articular Distal Radial Fracture: A Biomechanical Analysis.

The present study demonstrated that a DWSP affixed to the third metacarpal with an intrafragmentary screw provides the most effective stabilization of the lunate facet fragment in intra-articular DRFs. This study validates the use of intrafragmentary screws to increase stability in DWSP fixation.
