From: Efficacy of radial styloid targeting screws in volar plate fixation of intra-articular distal radial fractures: a biomechanical study in a cadaver fracture model

Figure 6

Example cases of plate and screws after failure of fixation. When volar plate fixation was performed without radial styloid screws, both ulnar fragment screws were broken while radial fragment screws remained intact (radial styloid screw -). In contrast, both ulnar screws remained intact when volar plate fixation was performed using 2 radial styloid screws (radial styloid screw +).
