Table 1 The demographics of the included population. The mean absolute and relative ulnar length differences are given for the entire population, as well for the group divided by age, sex and fracture side and the corresponding p-value

From: It is safe to use the ulnar length difference to correct the radial length difference in the 3D-planning process of a radius osteotomy in patients with a distal radius malunion
