156 patients with dislocated distal radius fractures were randomized to receive surgical treatment with a volar locking plate (VLP) or external fixation (EF). The primary outcome interest was the Patient-Rated Wrist and Hand Evaluation (PRWHE) score. Radiographic outcomes included volar tilt, radial inclination, radial length, and ulnar variance. Follow up was performed at 1 year post-operation. The results of this study found no correlation between radiographic measures and PRWHE scores (volar tilt p=0.95; radial inclination p=0.34; radial length p=0.62; ulnar variance p=0.43).
