A 27-year-old right hand dominant man sustains a right distal radius fracture after a fall. He is treated with closed reduction. Which radiographic parameter has the greatest bearing on functional outcome
Although radial height, radial inclination, and ulnar variance are impoant reduction parameters for the successful nonoperative treatment of distal radius fractures, palmar tilt has been shown to have the greatest bearing on long-term functional outcomes.
