Fifty lateral radiographs of normal wrists were viewed to determine the palmar cortical angle of the distal radius. The palmar cortical angle is different to its previously described palmar tilt or angulation. The mean value for the palmar cortical angle was 37degrees (range, 26-50degrees). This may be clinically important in the design of palmar plates for the distal radius.
