Caption: Die Exit Radii Influence Extrudate Smoothness: On die exits with a large radius (bottom), polymer tends to follow the radius because of its adhesion to the wall, and then swells, when it should break away cleanly from the die face and move downstream.
Sharper dies make for smoother extrusions: dies that have a radius at the exit will result in poorer surface finish

Fracture of the metaphyseal region of the distal ulna is a much less common bony type of DRUJ injury that has been reported to occur concomitantly with fracture of the distal radius. (4) Similar to ulnar styloid fractures, fractures of the distal ulnar metaphysis can complicate the treatment of distal radius fractures, with the potential to cause instability, loss of forearm rotation, and posttraumatic DRUJ arthrosis.
