Abstract

Knowledge of the size and shape of radial head is essential for construction of radial
head prosthesis. Further, the measurements of bicipital tuberosity and its angular
relationship to radial head are significant in surgical techniques, like in the
reconstruction of biceps tendon. Even the morphometry of the distal radius is significant
in numerous clinical orthopedic situations such as reduction of distal radius fractures
and in the design of distal radius prosthesis. So, the aim of the study was to determine
the morphometric parameters of proximal and distal radius in dry adult Indian radius.
