          Abstract

          A 50 voluntarios de ambos sexos, en edades comprendidas entre los 18 y 40 años de la población de Guarenas-Guatire, sin antecedentes de anomalías congénitas, patologías músculo-esqueléticas, fracturas y cirugías previas en miembros superiores se les realizaron radiografías de ambas muñecas en sus proyecciones antero-posterior y lateral. Se procedió a comparar las mediciones obtenidas de la inclinación radial, altura radial, varianza ulnar e inclinación volar con los valores estandarizados en la literatura internacional, evidenciándose que en la población estudiada la inclinación radial es mayor (P= 0,0045) y la inclinación volar menor (P< 0,0001), mientras la altura radial y varianza ulnar estadísticamente no fueron significantes. A su vez se compararon los parámetros radiológicos obtenidos entre hombres y mujeres de la población estudio observándose que la altura radial en los hombres es mayor que en las mujeres (P< 0,0001). La comparación entre las muñecas derechas e izquierdas según sexo no arrojó diferencias estadísticas. El estudio busca darle la debida importancia a los criterios de alineación y orientación de la articulación de la muñeca y aportar valores de una muestra de la población venezolana que nos sirvan de referencia.

          To 50 volunteers, ages between 18 and 40 years, who belong to population of Guarenas-Guatire, without congenital anomalies, muscle-skeletal pathologies, fractures and previous upper limbs surgeries, realized radiographs of both wrists in their anteroposterior and lateral projections. It proceed to compare the obtained measures of radial tilt, radial Length, ulnar variance, palmar tilt with standardized values of international literatures, showing that in the studied population radial tilt is larger (P= 0.0045) and the palmar tilt is smaller (P< 0.0001), while radial altitude and ulnar variance have not statistically significant results. Also, It compare radiographic parameters between men and women of study population showing that radial altitude in men is larger than women (P< 0.0001). Comparison between left and right wrists according to sex shows no statistically differences. Study looks to gives the appropriate importance to the alienation and orientation criterions of wrist articulation and to bring values of a Venezuelan population that helps of reference.

          Wrist fractures: what the clinician wants to know.

          With the recent improvements in diagnosis and treatment of distal radius and carpal injuries, the hand surgeons' expectations of relevant radiologic interpretation of imaging studies are heightened. Conventional radiographic examinations, as well as more sophisticated and invasive studies, have important roles in the evaluation of wrist fractures and dislocations. On the basis of physical examination results and the mechanism of injury, the onus is on the examining surgeon to pinpoint potential sites of bone or ligament disruption. After this evaluation, appropriate imaging studies appropriately performed and interpreted will help direct treatment and improve outcome with greater clarity and certainty.

              Measuring ulnar variance: a comparison of techniques.

              This study compared three commonly used methods of measuring ulnar variance. The comparison included the project- a-line technique (A), the method of concentric circles (B), and the method of perpendiculars (C). Specific features studied were variations in results generated by each technique as well as the interobserver and intraobserver reliability for each technique. The only significant difference among techniques was between techniques A and B (p = 0.0224), where mean A values were more positive than mean B values. Observers were found to differ significantly (p = 0.0092) independent of technique. All methods studied were highly reliable, although the method of perpendiculars was most reliable for both interobserver (reliability = 0.9801) and intraobserver (reliability = 0.9719) reliability. This study shows that the clinician may choose whichever technique he prefers when measuring ulnar variance.
