Anatomic Reconstruction of the Distal Radioulnar Ligament for Posttraumatic Distal Radioulnar Joint Instability
BACKGROUND To analyze clinical outcomes after anatomical reconstruction of distal radioulnar ligaments in patients with chronic post-traumatic instability of the distal radioulnar joint. METHODS Anatomical reconstruction was performed in 16 patients with subluxation or dynamic instability of distal radioulnar joint following trauma. Osteotomy was performed simultaneously in 10 patients with r...
متن کاملAnatomic dorsal and volar radioulnar ligament reconstruction with Mersilene augmentation for distal radioulnar joint instability.
Instability of the distal ulna is a fairly common problem after acute distal radius fracture (DRF), distal radius malunion, triangular fibrocartilage complex injury, and a host of other types of trauma. We present a new anatomic technique to stabilize the distal ulna with a tendon graft augmented with Mersilene tape, which has been used primarily to treat unidirectional (dorsal or volar) instab...
متن کاملDistal Radioulnar Joint Instability
Distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) instability is a common clinical condition but a frequently missed diagnosis. Both surgical and nonsurgical treatments are possible for chronic cases of DRUJ instability. Nonsurgical treatment can be considered as the primary therapy in less active patients, while surgery should be considered to recover bone and ligament injuries if nonsurgical treatment fails to ...
متن کاملAnatomic Landmarks of the Distal Radioulnar Joint
HYPOTHESIS Using Lister's tubercle and the ulnar styloid as landmarks, accurate localization of the distal radioulnar joint can be achieved without the need for an image-guided approach. METHODS Cadaveric dissection of 16 upper extremities was performed to measure the relationships between the ulnar styloid, Lister's tubercle, and the distal radioulnar joint. In each specimen, the location of...
متن کاملChronic instability of the distal radioulnar joint.
The ligament reconstruction technique described closely reconstructs the anatomic origin and insertion of the palmar and dorsal radioulnar ligaments. In a series of 14 patients, stability was completely restored in 12. Patients were able to return to their previous work, athletic activities, and avocations without limitations. Recovery of strength and motion was at least 85%. One patient with i...
