Anatomy and biomechanics of the distal radioulnar joint.
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 involving the DRUJ.

Outcome 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 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 کاملThe Distal Radioulnar Joint: Problems and Solutions.
Disorders of the distal radioulnar joint are a major source of ulnar-sided wrist pain. Fortunately, our understanding of the anatomy, joint mechanics, and pathophysiology of this area has increased greatly in recent years, making resolution of many of these problems feasible. In most cases, an accurate diagnosis can be made, and successful treatment can then be prescribed. This review covers va...

Ever since its description, anterolateral ligament (ALL) of the knee joint remains as the hotspot of controversies.Though it has been described under various descriptions, the structure gained its limelight when it was christenedas anterolateral ligament by Claes in 2013. The main reason for the controversies around it is the lack of concreteevidences regarding its attachments...
