Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Gilles THUYSBAERT, Auteur ; Akkie RINGBURG, Auteur ; Steven Petronilia, Auteur Année de publication : 2015 Article en page(s) : p.308-314 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Radiological parameters  distal radius fracture  ulnar variance  radial inclination Résumé : Ulnar variance and radial inclination are radiological parameters frequently used to evaluate displacement of distal radius fractures. In most studies measurements are based on the long central axis of the distal radius, although the axis of the distal ulna can also be used. The purpose of this study was to determine which axis is more reliable. Four observers performed measurements on standard anteroposterior digital wrist X-rays of 20 patients taken 1 and 2 months after sustaining an extra-articular distal radius fracture. Intraobserver reliability was similar with both methods. No difference was found in interobserver reliability between both methods for ulnar variance, but for radial inclination it was better with the axis through the radius. Measurements on two X-rays of the same wrist taken at a different moment were similar with both methods. It can be concluded that the central axis of the distal radius can remain the basis to determine ulnar variance and radial inclination.
