“…We found the mean length of radius, length of radial styloid process, transverse and oblique width of distal end, and the AP diameter of distal end as 23. 12 [14][15][16][17] In our study, we got the angle of radial inclination as 25.05°, which was almost similar to the values obtained by Chan et al, Gartland and Werley, and Schuind et al…”

R adial head and neck fractures constitute 1.7-5.4% of all fractures. Radial head fractures alone constitute one-third of all elbow fractures and about 20% of all elbow trauma cases.[1] An appreciation of the part played by radial head in the overall stability of elbow and forearm has encouraged several investigators to recommend conservation of radial head, either by operative fixation or by prosthetic replacement.Distal radius fractures comprise 8-15% of all upper limb fractures. So, information of normal values of distal Background: Knowledge of the size and shape of radial head is essential for construction of radial head prosthesis. Further, the measurements of bicipital tuberosity and its angular relationship to radial head are significant in surgical techniques, like in the reconstruction of biceps tendon. Even the morphometry of the distal radius is significant in numerous clinical orthopedic situations such as reduction of distal radius fractures and in the design of distal radius prosthesis. So, the aim of the study was to determine the morphometric parameters of proximal and distal radius in dry adult Indian radius. Methods:Fifty intact adult Indian radius (right = 23, left = 27) were chosen, and the various parameters of proximal and distal ends of radius were studied. Student's t-test was done to correlate all these parameters on the right and left sides. Results:The mean length of radius, height of head at medial and lateral ends, head anteroposterior and transverse diameter, head thickness at ventral, dorsal, and lateral ends were 23.5, 0.90, 0.75, 1.91, 1.85, 0.42, 0.32, and 0.30 cm, respectively. The mean depth of articular facet, length of neck, proximal and distal neck diameter, width and length of bicipital tuberosity, and radial circumference at bicipital tuberosity were 0.19, 1.19, 1.36, 1.31, 1.23, 1.97, and 4.54 cm, respectively. The mean length of styloid process, oblique and transverse width of lower end, anteroposterior diameter of lower end, and angle of radial inclination were 0.98cm, 2. 81cm, 2.59cm, 1.86cm, and 25.05º, respectively. Conclusion: This study will be useful for orthopedic surgeons in making prosthesis for the proximal and distal ends of radius. (Biomed J 2015;38:323-328)

“…Chan et al found that ulnar variance was statistically variable (significant) in the Chinese and Malaysian population [2]. Hadi et al studied that there was a statistically significant difference in the radial height, inclination, palmar tilt and ulnar variance between the male and female subjects of the Indonesian population [9].…”

“…Distal radius morphometry is extremely critical for normal wrist biomechanics, which has been studied and reported before. Radial height, radial inclination, palmar tilt and ulnar variance are the four important parameters to describe the distal radius morphometry [2]. Short WH et al, in their experimental cadaveric study described the importance of reduction in the palmar tilt, leading to increased dorsal angulation, results in increased loading of the distal radioulnar joint due to increased contact pressure on the articular surface between the sigmoid notch and ulnar head [3].…”

“…This study has two aims, firstly to analyze the normal distal radius morphometry in a South Indian population and secondly provide a database for further analytical or experimental studies. This study was taken upon by us based on our review of the literature showed us that authors found significant variations of these parameters in the Malaysian, Indonesian and parts of the Indian populations as well [1,2]. This study aimed to study the morphological differences of the distal radius in the ethnic subset of the South Indian population.…”

“…The authors believe that the results of this study are necessary for orthopedic surgeons to effectively evaluate the treatment of distal radius fractures and whether they need to follow the OTA criteria. OTA is the more commonly followed guideline for fracture reduction in current orthopedic practice [1][2][3].…”

Background: Distal radius fractures are arguably the most common orthopedic injuries encountered by the treating orthopedic surgeon. Correction of dorsal tilt and radial height is important to restore the normal biomechanics of the wrist joint. The aim of this study is to report the morphometry of the distal radius in a South Indian population and give a comparison to similar studies of other races and populations. Methods: Three hundred and ten consecutive plain radiographs of the wrist joint were included in all the radiographs. Four radiological parameters were studied in all the radiographs namely radial height, radial inclination, ulnar variance and palmar tilt. Radiographs that were not centered on the wrist joint or rotated were excluded from the study. Only radiographs of the distal radius with fused physis were considered in this study. Results: The mean value of the radial height was 0.88cm with a standard deviation of 0.26cm. The mean radial height for males was 0.92 ± 0.27cm and in females was 0.81± 0.23cm (p=0, which is significant). The mean radial inclination was 21.58 ± 3.35 o . The palmar tilt averaged 11.36 ± 3.16 o . The ulnar variance was neutral in 110 males (56.4%) and 66 females (57.4%). Conclusion:The morphometry of the distal radius varies with race, ethnicity, and build of the patient. Thorough knowledge of the morphometry of the distal radius of the local population becomes critical for the treating surgeon. In this study, we attempt to publish our results of our study of the radiological parameters in the South Indian population.
