Dorsal Tangential View of the Wrist to Detect Screw Penetration to the Dorsal Cortex of the Distal Radius after Volar Fixed-Angle Plating

Abstract

The screw penetration to the third dorsal compartment was missed in standard views, but visualized in dorsal tangential view. We recommend the use of dorsal tangential view in addition to standard lateral and oblique views during volar plating of the distal radius.
