Computer-aided 3D analysis of anatomy and radiographic parameters of the distal radius.

Computer-aided CBCT image processing offers an advanced tool to record 3D geometry and the radiographic parameters of the osseous structures of the wrist. Analysis of the distal radius' anatomy showed that the longitudinal axis was affected by its measurement location and subsequently also affected the determination of the angular parameters. We also report the variation of the volar tilt along the articular surface and the shapes and sizes of the articular facets.
