Restoration of the anatomy of the radial bow directly correlates with the range of motion postoperatively (pronation-supination). The referenced study by Schemitsch et al found that restoration of the normal radial bow was related to the functional outcome. A good functional result (more than 80 percent of normal rotation of the forearm) was associated with restoration of the normal amount and location of the radial bow. Similarly, the recovery of grip strength was associated with restoration of the location of the radial bow toward normal.
