| Summary: | Distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) dislocation without fracture is uncommon. Herein, we present three cases that were treated surgically and followed for a mean of 24 months. Symptoms of DRUJ dislocation without fracture may vary, so clinical suspicion for this injury should increase whenever there is a history of wrist trauma and evidence of restricted or painful forearm supination or pronation. Radiographic evaluation may be more accurate than physical examination for diagnosis. Surgical therapy with arthroscopy-assisted closed reduction and percutaneous Kirschner wire placement yields favorable clinical and functional results. [Hand Microsurg 2017; 6(3.000): 154-160] |
