Revision of Failed Volar Lunate Fragment Fixation

Volar lunate facet fractures are a critical but often under-recognized subset of distal radius injuries. The volar lunate fragment plays a crucial role in maintaining wrist stability, and inadequate recognition and treatment can lead to complications and failure of the distal radius fixation. This lecture will review the mechanisms of injury, diagnostic challenges, and primary treatment strategies, with a focus on the importance of accurate fixation. Additionally, we will explore revision fixation techniques and salvage procedures for cases where initial management has failed. Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of both primary and secondary management approaches, providing them to make informed decisions in complex cases of volar lunate facet fractures.
