Abstract:

Isolated distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) dislocation is a rare injury. Reports of isolated DRUJ luxations, volar or dorsal, are often case reports and rarely a series of cases. We present a case of an isolated acute dorsal dislocation of the distal radioulnar joint in a 25-year-old man. The patient underwent closed reduction and a transcutaneous radioulnar pinning was done followed by cast immobilization in neutral rotation during 6 weeks. After six months follow -up, the functional result was satisfactory, patient experienced no pain and had no restrictions in work or sports-related activities.

Bones of the Upper Limb: Ulna

Bones of the Upper Limb: Ulna

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...

Bones of the Upper Limb: Radius

Bones of the Upper Limb: Radius

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.
The radius has a nail-shaped head, and a...
