Classification and treatment of volar Barton fractures

A K Mehara et al. Injury. 1993.

Abstract

Results of treatment in 78 patients with volar Barton's fractures have been analysed. On radiological assessment these fractures were divided into three distinct categories and this classification is related to the results of closed manipulation. Results are best when this fracture is treated with open reduction and internal fixation. In non-operatively treated cases results are much better if the articular step is less than 2 mm.
