Abstract: Objective To explore anatomic basis of reserving pronator quadratus(PQ) in treating unstable distal radius fractures via volar approach.Methods 18 human cadaveric forearms were used to dissected to observe and measure the morphologic features around the muscle,the distribution of pronator quadratus,the course of its neurovascular bundles and the length of the distal radius that can be exposed by mobilizing the distal edge of pronator quadratus from its radial attachment. Conclusion The study confirmed the anatomical basis and the potential apllied value of reserving pronator quadratus(PQ) in treating unstable distal radius fractures via volar approach.

Key words: pronator quadratus, distal radius fractures, volar approach
