Fracture plating is used to achieve anatomical alignment and stable fixation. Dorsal plating is the standard practice; however, it can be associated with complications due to scarring around the extensor tendon. Lateral plating is gaining popularity due its extensor sparing approach. This study is a systematic review and meta-analysis that aims to compare the outcomes of the 2 approaches.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane, and PubMed databases were searched.
