Ulnar variance and age.
Ulnar variance was determined on 1,023 radiographs of normal wrists taken in standardized fashion. There were 468 women and 555 men. The age range was 13 to 109 years. In both sexes, ulnar negative variance decreased significantly with increasing age. Possible reasons for this are discussed.
