Computer-aided CT analysis software (Bonelogic), based on segmentation and numerical modelling, was used to define ulnar variance and standardized 3D axes for all carpal bones. The association of ulnar variance with 3D carpal alignment, age of the volunteer, and side and dominance of the imaged wrist was assessed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The mean ulnar variance was \u22121.6 \u00b1 1.5\u2005mm (range = \u22125.3 to 2.4\u2005mm). The mean ulnar variance was \u22121.9\u2005mm and \u22121.1\u2005mm in men and women ( P\u2009=\u20090.007), respectively. Of the imaged 121 wrists, 18 (15%) had positive and 103 (85%) negative ulnar variance. There was no association between ulnar variance and any of the radio- or intercarpal angle values in either the sagittal or coronal plane (\u03c1\u2009=\u2009\u22120.16\u20260.17, r\u2009=\u2009\u22120.13\u2026.0.12). The ulnar variance showed no association with side ( P\u2009=\u20090.51) or dominance ( P\u2009=\u20090.27) of the imaged wrist.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>3D carpal alignment is not affected by ulnar variance.
