Radial shaft fractures are unique in that preserving the anatomic bow of the radius, which allows for its rotation around the ulna during pronation and supination, is essential for proper function. The 2 main approaches for exposure of the proximal or middle third radial diaphyseal fractures are the volar \u201cHenry\u201d and the dorsal \u201cThompson.\u201d This article highlights the benefits of the dorsal Thompson approach, describes the key points of the operative technique, which allow for protection of the posterior interosseous nerve, and provides an overview of the measurable outcomes when using this approach. In the accompanying video, the steps of operative exposure to the proximal radial shaft with careful avoidance of the posterior interosseous nerve are demonstrated.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1097\/bot.0000000000002162","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,6]],"date-time":"2021-07-06T12:53:57Z","timestamp":1625576037000},"page":"S16-S17","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Dorsal Thompson: Approach to the Proximal Radial Shaft"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"35","author":[{"given":"Meredith","family":"Murphy","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Surgery and Sports Medicine, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Robert J.","family":"Teasdall","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Surgery and Sports Medicine, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shea","family":"Comadoll","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Surgery, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Arun","family":"Aneja","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Surgery and Sports Medicine, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R2-20230828","article-title":"Management of metadiaphyseal proximal radius fractures","author":"Demetri","year":"2020","journal-title":"Tech Hand Upper Ext Surg."},{"key":"R3-20230828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"437","DOI":"10.5435\/JAAOS-22-07-437","article-title":"Management of adult diaphyseal both-bone forearm fractures","volume":"22","author":"Schulte","year":"2014","journal-title":"J Amer Acad Orthop Surg."},{"key":"R4-20230828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"S38","DOI":"10.1016\/S0020-1383(17)30737-4","article-title":"Comparison of volar and dorsal plate osteosynthesis for radial shaft fractures: an anatomical pilot study","volume":"48","author":"Holweg","year":"2017","journal-title":"Injury."},{"key":"R5-20230828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"936","DOI":"10.1053\/jhsu.2000.16360","article-title":"The anatomical relationship between the posterior interosseous nerve and the supinator muscle","volume":"25","author":"Thomas","year":"2000","journal-title":"J Hand Surg."},{"key":"R6-20230828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"108","DOI":"10.1097\/BOT.0000000000001651","article-title":"Henry versus thompson approach for fixation of proximal third radial shaft fractures: a multicenter study","volume":"34","author":"Dashe","year":"2020","journal-title":"J Orthop Trauma."},{"key":"R7-20230828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"745","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jhsa.2012.12.029","article-title":"Extensile surgical exposures of the radius: a comparative anatomic study","volume":"38","author":"Jockel","year":"2013","journal-title":"J Hand Surg."},{"key":"R8-20230828","first-page":"532","article-title":"Comparison of volar and dorsal approaches for surgical treatment in fracture of proximal half of the radius","volume":"29","author":"Nasab","year":"2013","journal-title":"Pak J Med Sci."},{"key":"R9-20230828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"24","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02588236","article-title":"Results of a volar approach to plate osteosynthesis of radius shaft fractures.
