Abstract:
PURPOSE: Based on biomechanical experiments in specimens it is accepted widely that ulnar length determines loading of distal articular surface of the radius with ulna-minus variance increasing and ulna-plus variance decreasing the loading of the lunate compartment. Nevertheless a direct assessment of the actual loading conditions in the living is currently impossible. The aim of the present study is therefore to evaluate subchondral bone mineralization patterns to provide further information ab...     »
