Traumatic recurrent distal radioulnar joint dislocation: a case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Isolated acute distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) dislocation is a rare injury (Garrigues and Aldridge III in J Bone Joint Surg Am 89:1594-1597, 2007]. Reports of isolated DRUJ luxations, volair or dorsal, are often case reports and rarely a series of cases [Dameron Jr in Clin Orthop Relat Res 83:55-63, 1972]. We present a case of an acute traumatic dorsal DRUJ dislocation treated with cast immobilization with recurrence of the dislocation after a new trauma some months later. At follow-up, 17 months after the first dislocation and 9 months after the second, he experienced no pain and had no restrictions in work or sports-related activities.

Non-reducible palmar dislocation of the distal radioulnar joint
A rare case of an isolated traumatic palmar dislocation of the distal radioulnar joint is presented. Clinically, there is a loss of pronation and supination. The dislocation was treated using an open reduction, reinsertion of the capsule-ligamentous complex and temporary stabilization using K-wires.
متن کامل[Semiconstrained bipolar implant arthroplasty of the distal radioulnar joint. Case report].
INTRODUCTION The distal radioulnar joint is of paramount importance for the proper function of the upper extremity. There is a wide variety of procedures for the treatment of its advanced pathology but none of them is capable of providing a stable load-bearing joint. CLINICAL CASE We present the case of a 54 year old man who was treated by a semiconstrained bipolar distal radioulnar joint art...
متن کاملIrreducible dorsal radiocarpal fracture dislocation with dissociation of the distal radioulnar joint: a case report.
We report a case of dorsal radiocarpal fracture dislocation with dissociation of the distal radioulnar joint. Closed reduction was unsuccessful due to interposition of the osteochondral fragments and open reduction and fixation was carried out with a satisfactory end result. The advantages of volar approach and use of external fixator in the management of this injury are discussed.

INTRODUCTION The Galeazzi fracture-dislocation was originally described by Sir Astley Cooper in 1822 but was named after Italian surgeon Ricardo Galeazzi in 1934. It is an injury classified as a radial shaft fracture with associated dislocation of the distal radioulnar joint and disruption of the forearm axis joint. The associated distal radioulnar joint injury may be purely ligamentous in natu...
متن کاملIndications for Distal Radioulnar Arthroplasty: Report on Three Clinical Cases
Distal radioulnar arthroplasty is an attractive solution for treating various pathological conditions of the distal radioulnar joint because it allows restoration of stability, load transmission and function. The main indications are: radioulnar impingement after partial or complete resection of the distal ulna; and degenerative, inflammatory or post-traumatic arthritis of the distal radioulnar...
