From: Ulnar carpal translation following palmar locking plate fixation for distal radius fractures: a retrospective analysis

Fig. 1

Measurements of the Gilula method for ulnar carpal translation (UCT) were taken from the farthest point on the radial border of the lunate (point A) to the farthest ulnar point at the mid-portion of the lunate (point C). A line drawn along the ulnar border of the radius, parallel to the long axis of the radius, intersects line AC at point B. The distance of the uncovered lunate (from point B to C) was divided by the full width of the lunate (from point A to C) and expressed as a percentage. A value greater than 44% indicates the presence of UCT
