Relationship Between Ulnar Variance Cortical Bone Density and Load to Failure in the Distal Radius a...

Purpose Increased ulnar variance has been shown to lead to diminished load borne by the distal radius. The purpose of this study was to determine the correlations among ulnar variance, bone mineral density, and load to failure at the distal radius. The purpose of this study is to report the results of a series of infected forearm nonunions treated from 1998 to 2012 using a staged reconstruction technique.
