Turan A, et al. - In patients with or without scaphoid fractures, the role of anatomic variations in distal radius radiographic indices were examined. For this analysis, the researchers measured radial inclination (RI), volar tilt (VT), radial height (RH) and ulnar variance (UV) on wrist radiographs of 320 subjects with (Group I, n = 167) or without (Group II, n = 153) scaphoid fracture, fall on outstretched hand (FOOSH). For scaphoid fracture when FOOSH, increased RI, VT, RH and negative UV were found to be predisposing anatomical risk factors.
