The figure shows initial, contralateral, and final (2-month) radiographies. Shortening was measured by the distance between tangential lines to the fourth and fifth metacarpal heads compared to the contralateral hand; in this case, 5.5–2.9 mm = 2.6 mm for initial and final shortening. Angulation was measured on 45° oblique radiographies; in this case, 55° on initial and final evaluation.
