Abstract :

Detailed anatomical knowledge of the distal end of ulna is important in understanding post-injury painful conditions at the distal radio-ulnar joint (DRUJ). So we obtained data on the morphometrical features of distal end of ulna in Gujarat region. Study of lower end of ulna has been conducted on 100 dry ulnae without any deformity. The average length of styloid process was 4.25 ± 0.53 mm and 5.28 ± 0.80 mm in right & left sided ulna respectively. The mean maximum height of seat was noted to be 6.01 ± 0.98 mm & 6.46 ± 0.93 mm on right and left sided ulna respectively. The average maximum width of pole was 5.67 ± 0.79 mm & 5.72 ± 0.80 mm on right and left sided ulna respectively. The shape of pole and other data were noted. The study provides morphometrical data of distal end of ulna, which will be helpful in management of DRUJ injuries.
