Figure 1 Volar tilt (VT): the angle between lines b and c. Radiolunate angle (RLA): angle between lines a and d. Volar cortical angle (VCA): angle between lines a and e. Radiocapitate distance (RCD): distance between point p and line a. Volar prominence height (VPH): distance between point q and line a. Radial inclination (RI): angle between lines f and ‘g’. C, capitate; L, lunate; R, radius, U, ulna. Journal of Hand Surgery Global Online 2019 1, 10-14DOI: (10.1016/j.jhsg.2018.08.001) Copyright © 2018 The Authors Terms and Conditions
