1Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge, UK.
Summary
Proximal radioulnar translocation is rare in adults, often linked to dislocations. This study shows it can occur in isolation, with varied treatment outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Traumatology
- Radiology
Background:
- Proximal radioulnar translocation is a rare condition, predominantly observed in pediatric patients.
- Previous adult cases (3) were surgically managed and associated with ulnohumeral dislocations.

01:15Bones of the Upper Limb: Ulna
4.0K
The ulna and radius are parallel bones of the antebrachium or the forearm. The ulna lies medially and consists of a bony tip called the olecranon process at its proximal end. This hook-like projection articulates with the olecranon fossa of the humerus and forms the "hinged" ulnohumeral part of the elbow joint. This joint facilitates forearm extension and flexion while preventing its hyperextension. Similarly, the coronoid process, another bony projection on the proximal/anterior side...

The radius is longer of the two bones that make up the human antebrachium or forearm. At the proximal end, the radius articulates with the capitulum of the humerus and the radial notch of the ulna to form the elbow joint. At the distal end, the radius articulates with the ulna via the ulnar notch, forming the distal radioulnar joint. Distally, the radius also attaches to the carpal wrist bones (scaphoid and lunate) to form the radiocarpal joint.
