Outcomes and complications of fractures of distal radius (AO type B and C): volar plating versus nonoperative treatment
J Orthop Sci. 2014 Jul;19(4):537-4464 patients with an AO type B or C fracture of the distal radius were randomized to either nonoperative treatment of surgical treatment with a volar locking plate.

Articular incongruity and development of osteoarthritis were more frequent in patients who had been treated nonoperatively.
