2024年12月20日 · Primary method to prevent disability related to DRUJ injuries is anatomic reduction of the distal radius which often results in an anatomically-reduced DRUJ

2024年11月3日 · Isolated distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) dislocations are rare and are more commonly part of complex forearm fracture-dislocations. Wrist pain, swelling and deformity following FOOSH or direct trauma. The patient will be unable to supinate/pronate the forearm 1,2.

2024年11月5日 · Distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) instability refers to excessive painful mobility in the distal radioulnar joint usually as a result of a previous traumatic injury or bony malunion.

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).

Damage to the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) portion of the wrist can be a challenge to treat. In this article, hand surgeons from Mass General Hospital in Boston bring us up-to-date on this problem and offer their advice about treatment.

2022年6月3日 · Conservative DRUJ injury treatment typically consists of functional bracing and is often key to successful management. You can test the stability of the joint by first applying a dorsal pressure over the ulna and a volar force on the radius. While holding the pressure over the ulna and radius, take the patient through forearm rotation.

Patients with closed DRUJ dislocations that are reduced early may be able to exercise their wrist on their own. However, patients with marked swelling and pain will need hand therapy to help reduce swelling and improve ROM and strength.

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.

The distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ), the articulation between the sigmoid notch of the radius and the distal ulna, plays a pivotal role in stability and load bearing and allows for pronation and supination of the forearm.

Distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) is a pivot type synovial joint located between the radius and the ulna just proximal to the wrist joint and assists in pronation and supination of the forearm. The joint is critical to the working of the forearm as a mechanical unit.
