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 dzień temu · The stability of the distal radioulnar joint is compared to the uninjured wrist and marked laxity, as well as the reproduction of the patient’s painful symptoms, indicate a positive test. Other common tests to assess instability of the wrist:
14 kwi 2024 · instability of the DRUJ is present when the ulnar head is subluxed from the sigmoid notch by its full width with the arm in neutral rotation
1 lut 2023 · Distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) instability is a common condition whose pathophysiology is not explicit, making the surgical treatment difficult. 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.
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.
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.
We review relevant anatomy and biomechanics, common signs and symptoms in the evaluation, and diagnostic protocols including a discussion of relevant upper extremity fractures that should raise the clinicians’ index of suspicion of DRUJ injury. Lastly, we will discuss the various treatment options available to maximize patient outcomes.
