Fig. 3

Preoperative image of plate placement. An image of plate placement was created by calculating the correction angle required to restore volar tilt, radial inclination, and rotational deformation. The plate was placed so that the distal margin was parallel to the articular surface. An image of each frame shows the plate fixed to the distal radius. The blue dotted line on the frame (a) shows the correction angles for the coronal view. The blue dotted line on the frame (b) shows the correction angles for the sagittal view. The blue dotted line on the frame (c) shows the correction angles for the axial view
