“…This point is correlated with the IOM insertion on the ulna. 3 The IOM in our study was seen to be the most obvious and thickened structure 30% of length from the ulna head. These results demonstrated what the anatomical studies and histological studies had reported, i.e.…”

The ability to improve the technique for an accurate clinical diagnosis of the injury of interosseous membrane of the forearm (IOM) associated with forearm fractures and dislocations is important for its treatment and prognosis. Ultrasound examination of the IOM in 46 forearms from 18 normal volunteers, five patients with restricted forearm pronation and supination, and two preoperative cases was performed to determine the usefulness and reproductivity of this examination. The intact IOM was observed as a continuous, slightly convex anteriorly and hyperechoic structure between the radius and ulna with both transverse and longitudinal views. IOMs with histories of forearm injuries were distinguished by the findings, which demonstrated a loss of continuity and were seen as hypoechoic traces from the others. This study confirmed that it is possible to trace the entire IOM and to detect differences between intact and disrupted IOMs with transverse and longitudinal views.

“…The IOM is isometric and does not affect forearm rotation. The IOL behaves biomechanically like a ligament, has material properties like the patellar tendon and stiffness comparable with the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL); fail at a load of 250–1000 N (Forster et al, 1999; Hollister et al, 1994; Hughston, 1962). The IOM transmits load from the radius distally to the ulna proximally.…”

The distal radioulnar joint allows the human to rotate the forearm to place the hand in a desired position to perform different tasks, without interfering with the grasping function of the hand. The ulna is the stable part of the forearm around which the radius rotates; the stability of the distal radioulnar joint is provided by the interaction between ligaments, muscles and bones. The stabilizing structures are the triangular fibrocartilage complex, the ulnocarpal ligament complex, the extensor carpi ulnaris tendon and tendon sheath, the pronator quadratus, the interosseous membrane and ligament, the bone itself and the joint capsule. The purpose of this review article is to present and illustrate the current understanding of the functional anatomy and pathomechanics of this joint.

“…Cet axe relie les centres de rotation des articulations radio-ulnaire proximale (centre de la tête radiale) et distale (styloide ulnaire) [24,66,67]. Forster et al ont, d'ailleurs, démontré que plus un transplant a un trajet horizontal, moins il est isométrique [105]. Nous avons donc imaginé une ligamentoplastie dont le trajet serait calqué sur cet axe [97].…”
