Abstract

Carpal morphology and orientation of carpal bones are usually studied on two-plane radiography. Those measurements depend on the incidence of X-ray and on the expertise of physician. A method that eliminates both should improve the accuracy of those measurements. The digital data from computed tomography scans can be use to describe carpal geometry. We defined biometric and angular parameters allowing the study of carpal morphology and bones orientation. From digital data from computed tomography scans software can obtain bone volume, inertia principal axis and volume of ellipsoid of inertia. Bone centroid location and principal axis orientation can be used to study bones orientation. 3D distances ratio between geometry centroid of carpal bones. The measurements allowed by this methodology are numerous. A study of a more consistent series of normal wrists will allow in the future for each quantitative parameter to define the normal range. A comparative study of normal wrists and pathology wrists should allow defining, for each pathology, the most judicious quantitative parameters.
