Correspondence: Corresponding author. Dr Frankie Leung, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Queen Mary Hospital, The University of Hong Kong, HK SAR, People’s Republic of China. Tel.: +852 2855 3514; Fax: +852 2817 4392; E-mail: klleunga{at}hkucc.hku.hk (F. LEUNG).

The stability of palmar plate fixation using a locking compression T-plate was compared with that of a conventional palmar T-plate and a dorsal T-plate in a cadaveric model of an AO type C2 fracture of distal radius. The wrist axial load transmission through the radius was tested for each fixation. The results show that, under 100N axial load, the palmar locking compression T-plate restores stability comparable to that of the intact radius, and is superior to conventional palmar or dorsal T-plates.
