Table 3.
Radial height loss | Radial inclination (°s) | Volar tilt (°) | Ulnar variance (mm) | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Cement | 0.8 (0.3) | 22.4 (1.2) | 3.5 (0.6) | 0.5 (0.6) |
No cement | 0.7 (0.8) | 23.6 (1.0) | −2.7 (2.0) | 2.6 (0.4) |
p value | 0.8 | 0.5 | 0.002 | 0.3 |
Radial height loss was the measured change in radial height between the immediate post-fixation radiographs and the final films once healed. A significant difference was found for volar tilt between the cemented and non-cemented groups
