Step-cut distal ulnar-shortening osteotomy.
PURPOSE Several techniques for ulnar-shortening osteotomies have been described in recent years, reflecting the difficulties that sometimes are encountered in what seems to be a relatively simple procedure. We describe the use of a simple step-cut ulnar-shortening osteotomy stabilized with a lag screw and a palmarly placed 3.5-mm neutralization plate. METHODS Twenty-nine patients had the surg...
متن کاملUlnar shortening or arthroscopic wafer resection for ulnar impaction syndrome.
The outcome of ulnar shortenings was compared to the outcome after arthroscopic wafer resections for ulnar impaction (or abutment) syndrome in patients with a positive ulnar variance. Both surgical techniques are described. The outcome was measured by the DASH score, the visual analogue score for pain and the working incapacity. The mean DASH score in the ulnar shortening group was 26, in the w...
متن کاملDistal radioulnar joint arthroscopy and the volar ulnar portal.
Pain on the ulnar side of the wrist remains poorly understood. As attention has shifted toward the myriad causes of ulnar-sided wrist pain, the utility of viewing the wrist from a volar ulnar (VU) perspective has emerged. Lunotriquetral ligament tears have been implicated in the pathogenesis of volar intercalated segmental instabilities. They often originate in the palmar subregion, which is mo...
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 کاملThe distal radioulnar joint.
The distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) acts in concert with the proximal radioulnar joint to control forearm rotation. The DRUJ is stabilized by the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC). This complex of fibrocartilage and ligaments support the joint through its arc of rotation, as well as provide a smooth surface for the ulnar side of the carpus. TFCC and DRUJ injuries are part of the common pa...
