Functional shape of the proximal radioulnar joint: anatomical characterization through Alpha and Beta Angles
The study identifies a significant inverse relationship between the Alpha and Beta Angles of the PRUJ, supporting the concept that ulnar notch morphology affects RH coverage and forearm stability. These reference values in healthy elbows may serve as a baseline for future comparisons in pathological conditions and inform the diagnosis and management of joint instability and degeneration.
