The distal radioulnar joint in rheumatoid arthritis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Rheumatoid arthritis commonly affects the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ). This can result in pain, instability, or tendon rupture. The goals of surgical reconstruction of the DRUJ are to relieve pain, stabilize the joint, and prevent tendon rupture. We review many of the previously described procedures and report our experience with distal ulna excision and soft tissue reconstruction with a distally based slip of extensor carpi ulnaris tendon.

The Scheker distal radioulnar joint arthroplasty to unravel a virtually unsolvable problem.
Failure of the distal radioulnar joint leads to significant dysfunction of the upper limb. Numerous surgical procedures have been suggested to address this problem. In degenerative arthritis, joint instability and ulnar stump dislocation after salvage procedures such as Darrach distal resection or Sauvé-Kapandji distal fusion, an ideal solution may not be available. The ultimate option to resto...
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...

OBJECTIVES To compare the nerve cross sectional areas (CSA) of patients with RA without any sign of peripheral neuropathy to healthy controls. METHODS Clinical, electrophysiological and sonographic assessments were done by three blinded researchers. The patients who had an electrodiagnostic or clinical of peripheral neuropathy were excluded from the study. Nerve CSA were measured in various l...
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...
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...
