Distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) instability and triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) tears are more usual than estimated and are frequently overlooked. Diagnosis is often clinical, which can be confirmed using computed tomography (CT) scan and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

1 lut 2023 · The clinical signs of DRUJ instability include various symptoms ranging from pain on the medial side of the wrist to obvious instability of the DRUJ with snapping and apprehension. The management of this complex clinical entity brings up several questions: what are the anatomical bases of lesions that destabilize the DRUJ?;
Distal radioulnar joint instability is a common, but frequently missed, clinical condition that typically occurs in the setting of associated distal radius and ulnar styloid fractures. Computed tomography has emerged as a valuable tool in assessing the integrity of the DRUJ, and the roles of additional imaging modalities continue to be explored.
5 wrz 2024 · Disruptions in either the bony structures or the soft tissues can lead to joint instability, resulting in pain, restricted range of motion, and functional impairments. Joint instability and arthritis are common pathologies that can affect the DRUJ.
18 lis 2022 · The distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) is the distal articulation between the radius and ulna, acting as a major weight-bearing joint at the wrist and distributing forces across the forearm bones.
1 sty 2021 · The distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) allows supination and pronation of the distal forearm and wrist, an integral motion in everyday human activity. DRUJ injury and chronic instability can be a significant source of morbidity in patients’ lives.
Distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) instability is often an underestimated or missed lesion which may entail fatal consequences. The triangular fibrocartilage complex is a biomechanically very important stabilizer of the DRUJ and guarantees unrestricted range of motion of the forearm.
