Abstract:Background: The distal radius is commonly used as a bone graft donor site for surgery in the hand and wrist. The aim of this study was to evaluate the volume and relative density of cancellous bone in the distal radius. Methods: Thirtyfour consecutive computed tomographic scans of the wrist in 33 patients without distal radius pathology were included. For each subject, 6 spherical regions of interest (ROIs) were identified within the distal radius. In each ROI, volumetric measurements and mean Hounsfield unit … Show more
