Correlation of articular step-off to radiocarpal arthritic changes, mobility, and pain.

Pearson correlation test	EF	EFK
Articular step-off ≥ 2mm – radiocarpal arthritic changes	r = (-) 0.306; p = 0.189	r = (-) 0.793; p ≤ 0.001
Articular step-off ≥ 2mm – mobility	r = (+) 0.120; p = 0.614	r = (+) 0.111; p = 0.641
Articular step-off ≥ 2mm – pain	r = (-) 0.112; p = 0.638	r = (-) 0.250; p = 0.288

Statistically significant (p<0.05).
