Aug 11, 2020 · However, it is widely agreed upon that a loss in radial height is an indicator of poor function. A loss in radial height, also known as radial shortening, is often the result of impacted …

Sep 29, 2025 · Distal radius fractures are the most common orthopaedic injury and generally result from fall on an outstretched hand.

Radiographic Findings of Distal Radius Frx - See: - Radiology of the Wrist - Distal Radius Fx - Discussion: - radiographic measurements: - articular step off: most important determinant of …

We describe the range of radial shortening that occurs following a fracture of the proximal radius, as well as the short-term outcome in these patients. Over an 18-month period, we …

Jan 12, 2008 · Axial shortening, radial inclination and radio-ulnar displacement can be measured on the routine posterior/anterior film. Dorsal tilt and dorsal or palmar displacement can be …

1 day ago · Radial Length shortening results from extensive comminution and impaction of fracture fragments into the metaphysis. Shortening of up to 5mm is associated with a …

Jul 31, 2024 · Diagnosis usually only requires a standard wrist x-ray series. In some complex cases, additional cross-sectional imaging (usually CT) is required to accurately assess the …

Sep 11, 2023 · Radial height (RH) is measured by drawing 2 parallel lines perpendicular to the long axis of the radius. Shortening of RH may indicate impaction of the distal radius when …

Jan 24, 2023 · We advocate for a standardized measurement of radial height (synonymous with radial length) from the radial styloid to the distal ulnar articular surface. Radial shortening is a …

One line is drawn at the level of the radial sigmoid notch and the second at the level of the lateral cortical margin of the distal ulna. With excessive radial shortening, ulnar positive variance will …
