Isolated distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) dislocation is a rare injury. Reports of isolated DRUJ luxations, volar or dorsal, are often case reports and rarely a series of cases. We present a case of an isolated acute dorsal dislocation of the distal radioulnar joint in a 25-year-old man. The patient underwent closed reduction and a transcutaneous radioulnar pinning was done followed by cast immobilization in neutral rotation during 6 weeks. After six months follow -up, the functional result was satisfactory, patient experienced no pain and had no restrictions in work or sports-related activities.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
