Muscle moment arms in the first dorsal extensor compartment after radial malunion. A cadaver study.
J Bone Joint Surg Am. 2008; (9): 1979-87
Functional loss is a common complication of the fractured distal part of the radius. The purpose of the present study was to determine if the moment arms of the first dorsal extensor compartment are altered by distal radial fracture malunion. We hypothesized that the moment arms of the abductor pollicis longus and extensor pollicis brevis are significantly affected by dorsal angulation, radial inclination, and radial shortening, the most common deformities accompanying distal radial malunion.
