Four studies assessed accuracy of articular step-off but with contradictory outcomes. Radiographic measurements of step-off were accurate in two studies and inaccurate in one study. In the last step-off study, some of their measurements varied significantly but accuracy was not reported. The radiographic measurements of ulnar variance were significantly underestimated when compared to the true variance. We were not able to include studies that assessed accuracy of radial shortening, radial inclination, or dorsal\/volar tilt against a reference standard.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Currently, evidence is not available to support accuracy of the radiographic measurements commonly used to characterize distal radius fractures.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/0284185119834687","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,7]],"date-time":"2019-03-07T20:34:07Z","timestamp":1551990847000},"page":"1482-1489","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Distal radius fractures and radiographic assessment: a systematic review of measurement accuracy"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"60","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7036-6129","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Janni","family":"Jensen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Odense University Hospital, Odense, Denmark"},{"name":"Department of Clinical Research, University of Southern Denmark, Odense, Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Benjamin SB","family":"Rasmussen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Odense University Hospital, Odense, Denmark"},{"name":"Department of Clinical Research, University of Southern Denmark, Odense, Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Louise A","family":"Duus","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Odense University Hospital, Odense, Denmark"},{"name":"Department of Clinical Research, University of Southern Denmark, Odense, Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Trine","family":"Torfing","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Odense University Hospital, Odense, Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Helle","family":"Precht","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CONRAD Research Program, University College Lillebelt, Odense, Denmark"},{"name":"Cardiology Research department, Odense University hospital, Svendborg"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hans","family":"Tromborg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Research, University of Southern Denmark, Odense, Denmark"},{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Odense University Hospital, Odense, Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ole","family":"Graumann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Odense University Hospital, Odense, Denmark"},{"name":"Department of Clinical Research, University of Southern Denmark, Odense, Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0284185119834687","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.hcl.2012.02.001"},{"key":"bibr2-0284185119834687","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/jars.2000.17717"},{"key":"bibr3-0284185119834687","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.injury.2014.10.018"},{"key":"bibr4-0284185119834687","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00776-013-0514-y"},{"key":"bibr5-0284185119834687","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2106\/JBJS.938ebo"},{"key":"bibr6-0284185119834687","unstructured":"Sundhedsstyrrelsen.
