ABSTRACT
The distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) is a complex structure that enables sufficient, painless forearm rotation and provides weight-bearing capabilities of the upper extremity. Arthritis of DRUJ is multifactorial; the most common causes are trauma, congenital anomalies, as well as degenerative and inflammatory diseases. Congenital etiologies, as well as degenerative and inflammatory causes of arthritis are more common in women. Conventionally, initial management of symptomatic DRUJ arthritis is nonsurgical; surgery is generally reserved for patients with refractory pain. Moreover, advanced arthritis arising from trauma can be prevented by early interventions in the form of corrective osteotomy for malunited distal radius and distal ulna fractures, repair/reconstruction of the triangular fibrocartilage complex, and ulnar shortening osteotomy. Although the outcomes are typically positive following excision of the distal ulna in definitive arthritis, postoperative complications, such as instability and impingement of the residual distal ulna stump, can be serious. Procedures managing unstable residual ulna include soft tissue stabilization techniques and DRUJ implant arthroplasty.
