Injuries to the Distal Radioulnar joint

Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 1986
Disorders of the distal radioulnar joint can be divided into those secondary to ligamentous injuries, fractures, and arthritis changes. Further classification of the first two categories relates to acute versus chronic problems. Acute radioulnar joint disruption can, for the most part, be diagnosed on the basis of early physical examination ...

Biomechanics of the Distal Radioulnar Joint

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1984
The distal radioulnar joint is an intricate part of wrist function. The radius and hand move in relation to, and function about, the distal ulna. Significant loads are transmitted to the forearm unit through the distal ulna via the triangular fibrocartilage. The anatomic relations between the distal radius and ulna and the ulnar carpus are precise, and

Management of Posttraumatic Radioulnar Synostosis

Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2012
Posttraumatic radioulnar synostosis is a rare complication following fracture of the forearm and elbow. Risk factors for synostosis are related to the initial injury and surgical management of the fracture. Typically, patients present with complete loss of active and passive forearm pronation and supination.

Imaging of the Distal Radioulnar Joint

Hand Clinics, 1991
The distal radioulnar joint can be evaluated by many different imaging techniques, including plain radiography, arthrography, tomography, nuclear medicine bone scanning, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. Each of these techniques has advantages and disadvantages that must be considered when determining the appropriate diagnostic ...

Distal Radioulnar Joint Instability

Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma
Summary: The distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) is vital to the stability and function of the wrist and forearm. The osseous morphology is variable and provides little stability. A complex of confluent soft tissues is the primary stabilizer; however, the contribution of each component has yet to be elucidated.

[The proximal radioulnar joint in consideration of the distal radioulnar joint].

Der Orthopade, 2019
The movement of the forearm follows a complex interplay of three main components: the proximal and distal radioulnar joint and the interosseous membrane. Injuries to one or even all components have a huge impact on the integrity of this system.

ARTHROSCOPY OF THE DISTAL RADIOULNAR JOINT

Hand Clinics, 1999
Arthroscopy of the distal radioulnar joint is a natural extension of radiocarpal arthroscopy and can be a useful tool for certain conditions that affect this small joint. Arthroscopy provides a minimally invasive means of evaluating the distal radioulnar joint and enables visualization of the articular surfaces, synovium, and undersurface of the ...

Distal Radioulnar Joint Dysfunction

Hand Clinics, 1987
Dislocations of the DRUJ, when diagnosed promptly, may be successfully treated by closed reduction and immobilization. Symptomatic tears of the TFCC may be decompressed by ulnar shortening with or without debridement of the tear. Several operations are available for the treatment of derangements of the DRUJ.

Treatment of distal radioulnar disorders

The Journal of Hand Surgery, 1987
Twenty-nine wrists of 29 patients were treated with three procedures: distal ulnar resection (Darrach's procedure), distal ulnar recession, or hemiresection-interposition arthroplasty. The indications were pain and limitation of motion associated with primary osteoarthritis of the distal radioulnar joint, derangement after distal forearm bone fracture,

Disorders of the Distal Radioulnar Joint

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2015
The distal radioulnar joint is responsible for stable forearm rotation. Injury to this joint can occur following a variety of mechanisms, including wrist fractures, ligamentous damage, or degenerative wear. Accurate diagnosis requires a clear understanding of the anatomy and mechanics of the ulnar aspect of the wrist. Injuries can be divided into three
