    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Radiology
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Accurate measurement of ulnar variance is crucial for surgical procedures involving the distal radius and ulna.
    • Existing methods for determining ulnar variance may have limitations in reliability.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and evaluate a modified method for measuring ulnar variance.
    • To compare the reliability of the modified method against a previously established technique.

    Main Methods:

    • A modified measurement method was developed based on Palmer's (1982) technique.
    • 100 healthy individuals underwent wrist X-rays.
    • Ulnar variance was assessed independently by three observers using both the original and modified methods.
    • Weighted kappa statistics were used to analyze intra- and interobserver agreement.

    Main Results:

    • The modified method demonstrated significantly higher intraobserver agreement.
    • The modified method showed significantly higher interobserver agreement.
    • Statistical analysis confirmed superior reliability of the modified method.

    Conclusions:

    • The modified method offers a more reliable approach to measuring ulnar variance.
    • This enhanced reliability is beneficial for surgical planning and execution.
    • The modified method improves upon existing techniques for ulnar variance assessment.
