Objective To investigate the effectiveness of butterfly shaped locking compression plate for the treatment of complex distal radius fractures. Methods Between June 2011 and January 2013, 20 cases of complex distal radius fractures were treated with butterfly shaped locking compression plate fixation. There were 11 males and 9 females with an average age of 54 years (range, 25-75 years). Injury was caused by falling in 10 cases, by traffic accident in 7 cases, and by falling from height in 3 cases. All of fractures were closed. According to AO classification system, there were 8 cases of type C1, 8 cases of type C2, and 4 cases of type C3. Of them, 9 cases had radial styloid process fracture, 4 cases had sigmoid notch fracture, and 7 cases had both radial styloid process fracture and sigmoid notch fracture. The mean interval between injury and operation was 5.2 days (range, 3-15 days). Results All incisions healed by first intention; no complications of infection and necrosis occurred. All cases were followed up 14 months on average (range, 10-22 months). All factures healed after 9.3 weeks on average (range, 6-11 weeks). No complications such as displacement of fracture, joint surface subsidence, shortening of the radius, and carpal tunnel syndrome were found during follow-up. At last follow-up, the mean palmar tilt angle was 10.2°(range, 7-15°), and the mean ulnar deviation angle was 21.8°(range, 17-24°). The mean range of motion of the wrist was 45.3°(range, 35-68°) in dorsal extension, 53.5°(range, 40-78°) in palmar flexion, 19.8°(range, 12-27°) in radial inclination, 26.6°(range, 18-31°) in ulnar inclination, 70.2°(range, 45-90°) in pronation, and 68.4°(range, 25-88°) in supination. According to the Dienst scoring system, the results were excellent in 8 cases, good in 10 cases, and fair in 2 cases, and the excellent and good rate was 90%. Conclusion Treatment of complex distal radius fractures with butterfly shaped locking compression plate can reconstruct normal anatomic structures, especially for radial styloid process and sigmoid notch fractures, and it can get good functional recovery of the wrist and the distal radioulnar joint.
