Practical importance of the Skyline View X-ray projection in the surgery of fractures of distal metapephysis of the ray bone

We report our experience and practical benefits of using «skyline view» during volar locking plate osteosynthesis of distal radius fractures. The results received clearly show the «skyline view» benefits in comparison with standart lateral and AP views for intraoperative checking of screws length and placement and their relationship with dorsal cortex of distal radius. Hence, the «skyline view» should be considered as an obligatory procedure for prevention of iatrogenic conflict «screw-tendon» at post-op period.
