Distal Radius Morphometry in the Malaysian Population
The goal of treatment in distal radius fracture is to restore the anatomy of the distal radius, however the criteria currently used to evaluate the quality of reduction are based on Western based published figures. This goal of this study was to investigate whether there are variations in the morpho...
