However, in unstable and comminuted fractures, percutaneous fixation could produce complications due to technical challenges, such as improper axis positioning, inaccurate screw length measurement, intra-articular screw penetration, and impingement. Alternative open approaches for the surgical management of scaphoid fractures have been proposed, and in recent years, a new specific volar locking plate for the treatment of scaphoid fractures has been developed. This study aims to present the outcomes of this technique applied to 44 patients with unstable and comminuted fractures of the scaphoid.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Aims<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>The purpose of the study is to verify the effectiveness of the volar plate in the treatment of comminuted scaphoid fractures and the necessity for plate removal when consolidation has occurred.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Between January 2021 and March 2023, a specific volar locking plate for the treatment of scaphoid fractures was used in 44 patients.
