Understanding stability of the distal radioulnar joint through an understanding of its anatomy

Elisabet Hagert et al. Hand Clin. 2010 Nov.

Abstract

The authors describe the anatomy of the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) and delineate the importance of viewing this joint as part of the whole forearm. The osseous congruity and ligamentous integrity is of essence for the stability of the DRUJ, according to the principles of tensegrity. The neuromuscular control and possible proprioceptive function of the DRUJ are also outlined.
