Abstract
Numerous wrist disorders may be influenced by ulnar variance, where ulnar variance is the height differential between the ulna and distal radius joint articulating surfaces. To measure ulnar variance in patients visiting a tertiary care hospital of north Karnataka with complaints of wrist pain with the method of perpendiculars. Ulnar variance was measured in 100 patients who visited our hospital with complaints of wrist pain where plain radiograph of wrist PA in neutral position was taken for the patients above the age of 18 and then ulnar variance was measured using method of perpendiculars. The mean ulnar variance has been observed to be 0.23mm with no significant statistical age and gender distinctiveness and has shown a positive ulnar variance dominance among the subjects of population belonging to north Karnataka. This study of ulnar variances will help in identifying various wrist pathologies on X‐ray with correlation of clinical symptoms.
