Carbon fiber-reinforced polyether ether ketone (CFR-PEEK) plates are radiolucent and biomechanically comparable to titanium, potentially improving intraoperative visualization and postoperative follow-up. This study aims to compare clinical and radiographic outcomes between CFR-PEEK and titanium plates.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n \n This retrospective study included 39 patients with DRFs treated with either CFR-PEEK (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n = 19) or titanium plates (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n = 20) between August 2018 and June 2019. Intraoperative and postoperative parameters were compared between the two groups. The Wilcoxon rank sum test and Fisher\u2019s exact test were applied for statistical analysis.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n Satisfactory fracture reduction without implant-related complications was achieved in both groups. At 12\u00a0months, wrist range of motion and radiographic alignment did not significantly differ between the groups (both\n p<\/jats:italic>\n > 0.05), and Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) scores were comparable between the groups (11.8 \u00b1 7.0 vs 11.9 \u00b1 4.6,\n p<\/jats:italic>\n > 0.05). Notably, intraoperative CFR-PEEK plates significantly reduced the operative time compared with titanium plates (64.16 \u00b1 15.24\u00a0min vs 78.4 \u00b1 20.63\u00a0min,\n p<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.0387). The implant removal rates did not differ between the groups.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n CFR-PEEK volar locking plates demonstrated clinical and radiographic outcomes comparable to titanium plates, with added advantages of radiolucency and surgical efficiency, including a significantly shorter operative time. These findings identify CFR-PEEK plates as a safe and effective alternative in DRFs fixation.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/10225536261434069","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,19]],"date-time":"2026-03-19T20:11:33Z","timestamp":1773951093000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Comparison of radiolucent CFR-PEEK and titanium volar locking plates in distal radius fracture fixation"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"34","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-9828-0067","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tse-Pu","family":"Huang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"National Defense Medical University"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhi-Hong","family":"Zheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Defense Medical University"},{"name":"National Defense Medical University"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chia-Yuan","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Defense Medical University"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hui-Sen","family":"Tseng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Defense Medical University"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pei-Hung","family":"Shen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Defense Medical University"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kun-Yi","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Defense Medical University"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_6_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.36149\/0390-5276-224"},{"key":"e_1_3_6_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00068-021-01778-x"},{"key":"e_1_3_6_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s10195-023-00724-4"},{"key":"e_1_3_6_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00590-024-04131-1"},{"key":"e_1_3_6_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.52965\/001c.28362"},{"key":"e_1_3_6_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jmbbm.2012.09.013"},{"key":"e_1_3_6_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1753193413475962"},{"key":"e_1_3_6_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jor.22251"},{"key":"e_1_3_6_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jocn.2013.03.018"},{"key":"e_1_3_6_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jor.2016.10.015"},{"key":"e_1_3_6_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/BOT.0000000000001763"},{"key":"e_1_3_6_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0020-1383(17)30653-8"},{"key":"e_1_3_6_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10278-011-9438-2"},{"key":"e_1_3_6_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.injury.2014.10.018"},{"key":"e_1_3_6_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11552-014-9666-2"},{"issue":"2","key":"e_1_3_6_17_2","first-page":"308","article-title":"Measurement of ulnar variance and radial inclination on X-rays of healed distal radius fractures: with the axis of the distal radius or ulna?","volume":"81","author":"Thuysbaert G","year":"2015","unstructured":"Thuysbaert G, Ringburg A, Petronilia S, et al.
