Detailed morphometric analysis of the pronator quadratus muscle: a cadaveric study
This study could provide valuable biometric data for surgical procedures involving the distal forearm by detailing the anatomy of the PQ. In particular, measurements based on fixed bone landmarks may serve as a guide for determining reliable areas for plate and screw placement in distal radius fractures. In addition, awareness of possible anatomical variations in this region may contribute to safer and more individualized surgical planning.
