This extended dorsal approach can be used for wrist fusions or for joint-spanning plate fixation of comminuted intra-articular distal radius fractures.. Dorsal bridge plate fixation is an open reduction internal fixation technique for extensive comminuted articular and metaphyseal radial fractures. Terminology Dorsal bridge plate fixation is also known as dorsal spanning plate fixation. Indica.

Most often, DRFs are treated with an ORIF volar plate or even a volar spanning plate. However, with more significant DRFs, it is common to see dorsal bridging/spanning plates for internal fixation. However, this method prevents flexion/extension and radial/ulnar deviation of the wrist for an extended period of time.. A significant disadvantage of the plate is the need for further surgical removal. Keywords: Dorsal bridge plate, Spanning bridge plate, Distraction plate, Distal radius fracture Introduction Distal radius fractures are the most common upper limb fractures and account for 17-18% of all adult fractures in the Emergency Department [1 - 4].
