– See: – Reduction of Dorsal Angulation – Discussion: – measured on lateral, from angle created between articular surface of distal radius & line perpendicular to long axis of radius; – normal volar tilt measures between 0 to 22 degrees (mean 11 to 14.5 deg); … Read more

– See: Palmar Tilt – Discussion: – frx needs to be reduced prior to skin incisions & Ex Fix application; – longitudinal traction combined w/ thumb pressure and wrist flexion restores palmar tilt; – progressive wrist flexion will not restor palmar tilt until dorsal ligaments begin to tighten … Read more

– Discussion: (distal radius fracture menu) – technique of closed reduction – position of immobilization: – generally need to avoid positions of marked palmar flexion & ulnar deviation (Cotton-Loder position); – a truly stable fracture will probably be stable in any position once it is reduced; … Read more
– Distal Radial Length: – shortening results from extensive comminution and impaction of frx fragments into the metaphysis; – shortening of radius is more disabling than an angulatory deformity of the distal radius (ie, dorsal tilt or loss or radial inclination); – radial shortening following … Read more
