Volar Carbon Plate Effects on Procedure Time

Surgery procedure, Although the bones are at the surgeon's disposal in plate fixation of radius distal end fractures, fluoroscopy is frequently used for reduction control. The increase in the need for scopy both directly affects the duration of the operation and causes the surgical team to be exposed to excessive radiation. Since titanium alloy plates are radiopaque, they create a superposition to the fracture line and more than one view is usually required in each plane to ensure the reduction quality during surgery. Carbon alloy plates, on the other hand, offer the advantage of faster radiological reduction control because they do not create superposition to the fracture line. In our study, in addition to the comparisons in the literature, it is aimed to investigate the effect of carbon plates on the procedure time. surgery time and exposure of radiation will be recorded at the end of the surgery
