Volar Barton’s Fracture is the intraarticular fracture of distal radius associated with dislocation or subluxation of radio carpal joint. Conservative treatment is difficult and is often associated with failure and complications. Volar plate osteosynthesis (open reduction and internal fixation) gives immediate anatomic reduction and good joint congruity allowing for early rehabilitation and good functional outcome, thus reducing short term and long term complications. We had a prospective study of 28 patients treated with volar plate osteosynthesis with 89.3% excellent to good results using modified Cooney’s Score. Volar plate Osteosynthesis can be considered “Gold Standard” treatment for volar Barton’s Fracture for its good functional outcome.
