  2. Distal radius fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distal_radius_fracture

    Loss of radial inclination is associated with loss of grip strength. [5] Radial length - It is the vertical distance in millimetres between a line tangential to the articular surface of the ulna and a tangential line drawn at the most distal point of radius (radial styloid). Shortening of radial length more than 4mm is associated with wrist ...

  3. Classification of distal radius fractures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classification_of_distal...

    The radial inclination of a distal radius fracture is shown in red in image at right. The angle is measured between: [4] [5] A line drawn between the distal ends of the articular surface of the radius on an AP view of the wrist. A line that is perpendicular to the diaphysis of the radius. Radial inclination is normally 21-25°. [6]

  4. Spherical coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_coordinate_system

    The radius or radial distance is the Euclidean distance from the origin O to P. The inclination (or polar angle) is the signed angle from the zenith reference direction to the line segment OP. (Elevation may be used as the polar angle instead of inclination; see below.)

  5. Joint (geology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_(geology)

    Although joints can occur singly, they most frequently appear as joint sets and systems. A joint set is a family of parallel, evenly spaced joints that can be identified through mapping and analysis of their orientations, spacing, and physical properties. A joint system consists of two or more intersecting joint sets. [1] [2] [3]

  6. Thread angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread_angle

    Diagram of a thread angle. In mechanical engineering, the thread angle of a screw is the included angle between the thread flanks, measured in a plane containing the thread axis. [1] This is a defining factor for the shape of a screw thread. Standard values include:

  7. Colles' fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colles'_fracture

    2.5 cm (0.98 inches) proximal to the radio-carpal joint; dorsal displacement and dorsal angulation, together with radial tilt [9] Other characteristics: [10] [7] Radial shortening; Loss of ulnar inclination≤; Radial angulation of the wrist; Comminution at the fracture site; Associated fracture of the ulnar styloid process in more than 60% of ...

  8. Tire uniformity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_uniformity

    Radial run-out imparts an excitation into the vehicle in a manner similar to radial force variation. It is most often measured near the tire's centerline, although some tire makers have adopted measurement of radial run-out at three positions: left shoulder, center, and right shoulder.

  9. Scrub radius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrub_radius

    Zero scrub radius (top) positive scrub radius (center) negative scrub radius (bottom) In an automobile's suspension system, the scrub radius is the distance in front view between the king pin axis and the center of the contact patch of the wheel, where both would theoretically touch the road.
