Make a longitudinal incision slightly radial to the flexor carpi radialis tendon (FCR). Dissect between the FCR and the radial artery, exposing the pronator quadratus. Detach the pronator quadratus from the lateral border of the radius and elevate it toward the ulna. Precaution: Leave the volar wrist capsule intact to avoid devascularization of the fracture fragments and destabilization of the volar wrist ligaments. 2.4 mm Variable Angle LCP® Volar Rim Distal Radius Plates Surgical Technique DePuy Synthes
