N1 - Purpose Increased ulnar variance has been shown to lead to diminished load borne by the distal radius. The purpose of this study was to determine the correlations among ulnar variance, bone mineral density, and load to failure at the distal radius. Methods Posteroanterior radiographs and computed tomographic scans were taken of 12 cadaveric forearms in neutral rotation.
