Abstract
Volar Barton's Fracture is an unusual injury. Satisfactory closed reduction is difficult to achieve and even if manipulation is successful, redislocation occurs frequently. We have treated seven cases of volar Barton's fracture, one by closed reduction; one by percutneous kirschner wire fixation, and five by open reduction and internal fixation with T-plate. In the case treated by kirschner wire fixation, range of movement of the wrist was limited. On the other hand, the results with internal fixation were good. We believe that internal fixation with T-plate is one of the good methods for treatment of volar Barton's fracture.
