Over the years, convincing treatment methods have been controversial. Various surgical techniques have been reported in the literature, but open reduction and internal fixation using a volar plate system is currently advocated. Methodology: 20 consecutive closed volar Barton__ampersandsignrsquo;s fractures were treated with open reduction and internal fixation with locking compression plate, and their functional and clinical outcomes were assessed prospectively. The mean age of the patients at the time of the operation was 37.8 years (range 24-54 yrs). The fractures were followed-up for a mean of 12 months (range 9-24 months). Results: All 20 fractures healed without major complications. The wrist function was satisfactory in 90% of the cases according to the system described by Gartland and Werley. Conclusion: Our results suggest that open reduction and internal fixation of volar Barton__ampersandsignrsquo;s fracture with locking compression plate is an effective treatment option and results in satisfactory functional outcome.&#13;
