Purpose The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of osteoporosis on radiological and clinical outcomes after volar locking plate (VLP) fixation in women older than 50 years with unstable distal radius fractures (DRFs).Methods We retrospectively reviewed data of 79 women older than 50 years with DRFs treated by VLP fixation. We collected patients' baseline data, including age and bone mineral density. We also measured the cortical thickness of the distal radius on plain radiographs and computed tomography to assess local bone density. Radiological outcomes included late displacement at 1 year after surgery, which was defined as a change in radiological parameters (radial inclination, volar tilt, and ulnar variance). Clinical outcomes were assessed with the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) and modified Mayo wrist score at 1 year after surgery. We compared mean values between the nonosteoporotic (group 1, T score > -2.5) and the osteoporotic groups (group 2, T score
