Volar lunate facet fragments in distal radius fractures are located at the center of the load in the wrist joint and, therefore, should be properly supported by the distal ulnar setting of volar locking plates to obtain better postoperative outcomes. This study evaluated the usefulness of the modified skyline view (MSV) in intraoperative fluoroscopy for the ulnar setting of volar locking plates by comparing it with that of the anteroposterior view (APV).
