Background: This is about 8 to 17% of all fractures in the limbs and about 72% of all fractures in the wrist. To find out how well pronator quadratus repair works compared to not fixing it after volar plating in distal radius fractures.

Materials and Methods: The orthopedic department of the Mahavir Institute of Medical Sciences in Vikarabad, Telangana, India, is where this randomized controlled study is being held. Everyone who comes to the outpatient department. People who wanted to take part in the study had to be between the ages of 18 and 60 and have had an unstable distal radius fracture between January 2015 and January 2016. The emergency room (ED) got calls from 100 people with unstable distal radius fractures.

Results: One of the most common fractures in orthopedics is the distal radius, and there is still disagreement about how to restore the pronator quadratus muscle after volar plate. According to a recent study, most doctors try to rehabilitate the PQ muscle after fixing it with plates. People between the ages of 24 and 60 took part in this study. In this study, too, there were more girls than boys, just like in cases 32 and 33.

Conclusions: As a result, the information above shows that PQ muscle recovery may be used to improve outcomes after volar plating in distal radius fractures.
