Distal 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...
متن کاملSurgical approaches to the distal radioulnar joint.
For the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) to be stable, not only do the articulating surfaces need to be congruent and well aligned but also the capsule and ligaments need to be mechanically and sensorially competent. According to recent investigations, ligaments should not be regarded as simple static structures maintaining articular alignment but as complex arrangements of collagen fibers contai...
متن کاملExtensor tendon rupture caused by instability of the ulnar head with an osteoarthritic distal radioulnar joint: a case report
INTRODUCTION Although spontaneous extensor tendon rupture often occurs in association with rheumatoid arthritis, extensor tendon rupture associated with osteoarthritis of the distal radioulnar joint has been rarely reported. CASE PRESENTATION We present the case of a 74-year-old Asian woman with a fourth and fifth extensor tendon rupture caused by instability of the ulnar head associated with...
متن کاملOutcome Assessment after Aptis Distal Radioulnar Joint (DRUJ) Implant Arthroplasty
Background: Conventional treatments after complicated injuries of the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) such as Darrach and Kapandji-Sauvé procedures have many drawbacks, which may eventually lead to a painful unstable distal ulna. The development of DRUJ prosthesis has significantly evolved over the past years. In this study, we assessed the outcome results of patients after DRUJ implant arthro...
