Injuries and Diseases of Distal Radioulnar Joint. Part I. Anatomy, Kinematics and Examination

Abstract

Disturbances of the distal radioulnar joint (DDRJ) have recently received more attention in the literature, and they have been diagnosed more frequently and treated better. As early as 1814. A. Colles wrote: "If the surgeon takes the trouble to carefully examine the injured hand, he will find that the end of the ulna is easily displaced forward and backward". However, the diagnosis of DDRJ injuries continues to be difficult and is often delayed due to manifest collateral injuries to the radius and wrist, and the fact that radiological changes, even in cases of significant DDRJ injuries, are often minimal.
