Computer tomography aided 3D analysis of the distal dorsal radius surface and the effects on volar plate osteosynthesis
Journal of Hand Surgery (European Volume), 10/22/09

Pichler W et al. – Computer tomography scans of 30 forearms were performed by using a 64–slice Siemens SOMATOM Sensation CT system. The variations in height of Lister's Tubercle and in depth of the EPL groove are considerable. This needs to be taken into account when performing volar plating of distal radius fractures otherwise screws may inadvertently penetrate the dorsal cortex of the radius potentially leading to EPL rupture.
