    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Anatomy
    • Biomechanics

    Background:

    • The distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) is crucial for forearm rotation and stability.
    • Dysfunction of the DRUJ can lead to significant pain and loss of function.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review current understanding of distal radioulnar joint problems.
    • To discuss treatment strategies for DRUJ dysfunction.
    • To emphasize the importance of normal anatomy and biomechanics in DRUJ evaluation and management.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of anatomical and biomechanical principles.
    • Synthesis of current research on DRUJ pathologies.
    • Analysis of established and emerging treatment options.

    Main Results:

    • Normal DRUJ anatomy and biomechanics are essential for understanding joint pathology.
    • Various conditions affect the DRUJ, including instability, arthritis, and fractures.
    • Treatment approaches range from conservative management to surgical reconstruction.

    Conclusions:

    • A thorough understanding of DRUJ anatomy and biomechanics is fundamental for diagnosing and treating its problems.
    • Effective management requires addressing the underlying cause of dysfunction.
    • Further research may refine treatment strategies for complex DRUJ injuries.
