Anatomy and biomechanics of the distal radioulnar joint.
The distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) is a complex articulation allowing significant rotational and translational motion. Stability of the DRUJ depends on bony contact, intrinsic stabilizers of the triangular fibrocartilage complex, and extrinsic stabilizers of the distal forearm. Understanding the anatomy of this articulation is paramount in clinical decision making for the treatment of disorders...
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...
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 کاملBiomechanics of the distal radioulnar joint.
The distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) is a complex joint involved in pronosupination and ulnocarpal motion and support. The ulnar head, in a rolling, sliding motion, moves from the dorsal to the volar rim of the sigmoid notch as the joint moves from pronation to supination. The triangular fibrocartilage (TFC) is taut first dorsally and then volarly in the same sequence. The ulnar carpus is support...
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...
