Dorsal tilt of a distal radius fracture. This angle is shown in red and goes between:
- A line drawn between the distal ends of the articular surface of the radius.
- A line that is perpendicular to the diaphysis of the radius.
Sometimes, the diaphysis of the radius is hard to distinguish from the ulna, and a line between them (turquoise line) may be used instead.
