There is a controversy regarding whether ulnar styloid fractures affect the efficacy of treatment of distal radial fractures. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether ulnar styloid fractures impact wrist joint function in patients without distal radioulnar joint instability, after distal radial fracture fixation using a volar plate.
