Morphometric Study of Ulnar Styloid Process and its Clinical Implication

Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 7

Abstract

The lower end of ulna contributes to the formation of joint through intervening triangular disc and it is of great anatomical and physiological significance for normal hand functioning. Lower end of ulna consist of head, fovea and styloid process. The study of styloid process is of great importance to orthopaedic surgeons for differential diagnosis of wrist pain. There is correlation between the morphometry of ulnar styloid process of ulna and painfull conditions of the wrist such as ulnar impaction syndrome, ulnar styloid triquetral impaction syndrome. It is therefore important to distinguish between variation of ulnar styloid process and disorders of distal radioulnar joint for appropriate surgical treatment by various orthopaedic surgeons. The present study was conducted with the objective to correlate the morphometry of styloid process of right and left side of ulna so that the pain and fractures of styloid process can be easily diagnosed and managed appropriately
