Bridge plating in the setting of radiocarpal instability: Does distal fixation to the second or third metacarpal matter? A cadaveric study

Figure 2 Gilula’s technique for measuring ulnar translocation through lunate uncovering. A line is drawn along the transverse axis of the lunate, from the farthest radial point at the mid-portion of the lunate (point A) to its ulnar-most corner (point B). The long axis of the radius is found and a parallel line at the ulnar corner of the radius is drawn until the A-B line is transected (point C). The distance between B and C is divided by the distance between A and B (G = BC/AC)[23].
