“…Our findings are comparable to Hadi et al, 17 where he observed mean RH of 11.36±1.66 mm. Nekkanti et al 18 found small RH of 8.80±2.6mm in the south indian population. Our RH was slightly greater on both left and right side compared to Gupta et al 19 The mean PT in our study was 9 but is greater than Werner et al ie 6mm.…”

Background: Distal radius fractures are common injuries. The outcome of the fractures depends upon the post reduction morphometric parameters. This study was aimed to assess the normal morphometric parameters of distal radius in Nepalese population. Methods: This was a prospective cross-sectional study of morphometric measurements of 150 distal radius on x rays of wrist joints of patients presenting to department of orthopedics at CMCTH from October 2020 to September 2021. Radial height, Radial inclination, Palmer tilt, Ulnar variance and Radial width in posteroanterior (PA) and lateral views were measured. The data obtained was analyzed to see the difference according to age, sex, side, dominance and ethnicity. Results: The mean values of Radial height, Radial inclination, Palmer tilt, Ulnar variance and Radial width posteroanterior and lateral were 11.75+-0.94mm, 22.75+-1.50 degrees, 10.51+-1.04 degrees, -0.51 to+-1.15 mm, 27.05+-1.16 mm and 18.7+-1.12 mm respectively. Conclusions: The distal radius morphometry of Nepalese population is comparable to other national, regional and western similar studies. There were no any statistically significant differences of all the morphometric parameters of distal radius according to age, sex, side, dominance and ethnicity except Radial inclination, according to ethnicity; and Radial width, according to ethnicity and dominance.

Background The important morphological parameters of distal radius namely palmar tilt, radial inclination, radial height and ulnar variance are consequential in the evaluation and management of the distal radius fracture, distal radius plate design and kinesiology. Correction of these parameters in anatomical alignment is important to restore the normal biomechanics of the wrist joint. Objective To ascertain the distal radius parameters in the patients attending tertiary care hospital with regard to gender and age. Method The wrist radiographs (postero-anterior and lateral views) of 125 patients, from 16 to above 60 years of age were used to determine the four parameters of distal radius. The subjects were divided into gender and three different age groups (16-36 years, 37-57 years and > 57 years). Independent t-test and ANOVA test was used for statistical analysis with level of significance set at p ≤ 0.05. Result The mean palmar tilt was 15.69 ± 4.84° (p-value = 0.40). The mean radial inclination was 22.58 ± 2.82° (p-value = 0.88). The mean value of radial height was 10.31 ± 1.59 mm (p-value= 0.001). Positive ulnar variance were recorded in maximum of subjects (46.40%) and the least was neutral (16.80%). Conclusion The distal radius parameters of our population were similar to the Orthopedic Trauma Association standard reference value. And there was significant difference in radial height between males and females.

Introduction Radiography is the most often accessible and affordable imaging modality. Accurate assessments of wrist X-rays can aid in the diagnosis and prognostic evaluation of various wrist problems. This study aims to identify normal radiographic anthropometry reference values and variations of carpal bones and joints by gender and age in sample Indian population, with the potential to be clinically applicable. Materials and Methods Two investigators conducted a prospective analysis of normal wrist radiographs in a single center. Radiology Information Systems and Picture Archiving and Communication Systems were used to collect standard digitized normal X-rays without significant osseous pathology over a year. We conducted measurements of length, angles, and indices in a standard posteroanterior and lateral wrist X-rays in order to establish the standard dimensions and variances based on age and gender. Results A total of 18 measurements which included eight linear measurements, eight angles, and two ratios were documented. A total of 500 X-rays of 250 males and 250 females with 125 of each in two age groups of 20 and 40 years and 41 and 60 years were evaluated. Conclusion This work is a comprehensive database of the Indian population measuring parameters in normal wrist radiographs of posteroanterior and lateral views. The results of our study indicate that men and younger individuals had a significantly higher carpal height ratio. The width of distal radial ulnar joint space was significantly lesser in older subjects. Additionally, males showed a significantly higher lunate uncovered ratio and radial height. When compared to the literature, the study revealed a significant positive ulnar variance in elderly people and women. However, we noted an overall increase in the percentage of positive ulnar variance individuals in our study. We also recorded a marginal increase in radial inclination with no variations across gender and age.
