Background As the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) anchors the distal radius to the ulna via the radioulnar ligament (RUL), a severely displaced distal fragment of the radius may be associated with a foveal avulsion of the TFCC. The purpose of this retrospective study was to assess, radiographically and arthroscopically, the relationship between displacement of the radius, the ulnar sty...

BACKGROUND Previous work from this laboratory has evidenced the biomechanical role of forearm osseoligamentous structures in load transfer of applied forces. It has shown that forces transmitted across the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) and proximal radioulnar joint (PRUJ) are similar, though not identical, under axial loading conditions. The purpose of the study was to assess the articulating ...

It is a great honor for me to be the Guest Editor for this special focus sectionon totalwrist arthroplasty (TWA) in thefirst issue of the Journal of Wrist Surgery. The development of TWA for advanced wrist destruction follows that of the other major joints. However, the pace is slow for two main reasons: (1) wrist fusion is a traditional and reliable method to treat wrist destruction irrespecti...

Introduction When a distal radio-ulnar joint (DRUJ) causes refractory pain and there is extensive damage to the joint cartilage, the only available surgical option is to sacrifice the joint by complete resection of the distal ulna (popularized by Darrach), by partial resection with or without interposition (e.g. Bowers’ hemiresection or Watson’s ‘matched ulna’) or by fusion of the radius and di...

Distal radius fractures in young adults are associated with high-energy trauma and elderly people low-energy falls. One of the distal is Barton Fracture (BF), a radiocarpal fracture-luxation whose production mechanism usually varies, most common being fall on an extended pronated wrist. We present 27-year-old male patient epiphysis injury dislocation following blunt trauma. Timely osteosynthesi...
