		<description><![CDATA[The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy and reliability (both inter- and intra-rater) in measuring wrist flexion and extension using 3 manual goniometric alignment techniques (ulnar, radial, and dorsalâ€“volar) in cadaveric upper extremities, using fluoroscopic verification of posture as a gold standard.Â  External fixators were applied to 10 cadaveric wrists with intramedullary [...]
