Morphological symmetry of the radius and ulna-Can contralateral forearm bones utilize as a reliable template for the opposite side?

The most important precondition for correction of the affected forearm using data from the contralateral side is that the left and right bone features must be similar, in order to develop patient-specific instruments (PSIs) and/or utilize computer-assisted orthopedic surgery (CAOS). The forearm has...
