INTRODUCTION AND AIM: This study aims to evaluate the functional and radiological outcomes in unstable distal end radius fractures treated with variable angle locking plates. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We reviewed 20 unstable distal end radius fractures that were operated and xed with variable-angle locking plate. RESULTS: According to Green and O'Brien Score (Cooney's modication) , excellent results were reported in 70 %,while good results were present in 20% cases, fair results were seen in 10% cases. CONCLUSION: The use of variable angle locking plates (VALP) in treating unstable distal end radius fractures is associated with excellent to good functional outcomes with minimal complications. VALP allows subchondral purchase in the articular fragments due to the exibility in the implant as far as plate positioning (that can be placed even beyond watershed line for very distal radius fractures) and as far as screw positioning in different directions (that can hold various distal fracture fragments as well as styloid process fracture). By this way, VALP helps in maintaining the reduction and predictably yields better functional outcome especially in unstable distal end radius fractures with early return to pre-injury occupation.
