Dual X-ray absorptiometry scans were performed to ensure minimal variability in bone density. All fractures were fixed with a volar locking plate and distal locking screws. Three different lengths of distal locking screws were used in each group of eight specimens to simulate the clinical decision of different distal screw lengths.
