The proximal radioulnar joint facilitates rotation during supination and pronation. |
|
To assess distal radioulnar joint instability, actual CT scans in neutral and pronation and supination are recommended. |
|
The technique was later modified by Morrey and coworkers in 1985 as there was a risk of radioulnar synostosis involved with the ulnar stripping. |
|
The examination site was 8 cm and set to encompass radioulnar, radiocarpal, midcarpal, and proximal metacarpal heads. |
|
Unfortunately, there have been subsequent reports of patients developing radioulnar synostosis following this procedure. |
|
The physician's hand grasps the patient's wrist just proximal to the styloid processes to stabilize the distal radioulnar joint. |
|
The arthritic distal radioulnar joint is a difficult problem. |
