normal age-related alterations on distal radius radiography

چکیده
background: the present study was designed to ascertain serial changes on distal radius radiographic parameters attributable to aging. methods: in this prospective study, the sample consisted of 120 healthy individuals who were divided into four age groups each containing 15 males and 15 females. in the two below-20-year-old groups, only ulnar variance could be investigated. wrist radiography was taken and then parameters of the distal radius were measured and compared based on age and sex. results: average uv was -2.48 mm and -1.6 mm in the 2-9 and 10-19-year-old age groups, respectively. also, in the two above-20-year-old groups, the average radial inclination (ri), palmar tilt (pt), radial length (rl), and uv was 23.7º, 12.4º, 10.5 and +1.1 mm, respectively. considering ulnar variance, no significant difference was found between the 2-9- and 10-19-year-old groups, as well as among the two above-20-year-old groups. however, a significant difference was observed between the below 20 and above 20 groups. the study results showed no significant differences between males and females in any of the study groups. discussion: there is significant ulnar variance change toward less negative ulnar variance with aging until maturity.

متن کاملMeasurement of Malrotation on Direct Radiography in Pediatric Distal Radius Fractures
UNLABELLED The aim of this prospective study was to test a mathematical method of measuring the malrotation of pediatric distal radius fractures (PDRFs) from direct radiographs. A total of 70 pediatric patients who presented at the Emergency Department with a distal radius fracture were evaluated. For 38 selected patients conservative treatment for PDRF was planned. Anteroposterior and lateral ...
متن کاملDistal Radius Fractures
With the wide array of treatment options now available, this is an exciting era for the treatment of fractures of the distal radius. An improved understanding of kinematics, bone quality, and muscle forces acting across the fracture has led to increased awareness of a fracture’s relative stability, as well as the development of innovative devices to counteract these forces and restore stability...
متن کاملDistal radius fractures.
Distal radius fractures are a common injury, particularly in the elderly population. Severity of these fractures is directly related to the bone mineral density of the patient, and clinical results are dependent on this parameter as well. In terms of treatment, several options exist. Nonoperative management consists of closed treatment with casting. Operative treatment options include intrafoca...

متن کاملDistal radius fractures in adults.
Although distal radius fractures are a common injury in the elderly and young adult population, the classification, treatment options, and assessment of outcomes of these fractures remain controversial. Since there is no uniform fracture classification system, it is difficult to compare studies. An evidence-based model of management needs to be developed.
