Research output: Contribution to journalEditorial

Abstract

Over the last couple of years there has been an increasing focus on the importance of volar rim fractures, and a better understanding of the poor clinical outcomes, due to associated instabilities, failure of fixation, and the need for revision surgery.[1]

To better define the problem and review the treatment options we have put together a symposium of invited papers on volar rim fractures ([Fig. 1]).[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]
