The Importance of the Distal Radioulnar Joint in Distal Radial Fractures

From the Department of Traumatology and Reconstructive Surgery, University Hospital Gasthuisberg, Leuven, Belgium

Correspondence: Prof. Dr D. Stoffelen, Department of Traumatology and Reconstructive Surgery, University Hospital Gasthuisberg, Heerestraat 49, 3000 Leuven, Belgium.

In a prospective study we evaluated the results of 272 distal radial fractures by their involvement of the distal radioulnar joint. Impaired function following altered anatomy at the distal radius can be explained by dysfunction of the distal radioulnar joint. Ulnar styloid avulsions contribute to a poorer result because of their effect on distal radioulnar joint function.
