Distal Radioulnar Joint Osteoarthritis: An Update on Treatment …
2021年2月28日 · In recent years, ulnar head arthroplasty and total DRUJ arthroplasty have been proposed to serve as an adjunct to failed painful ulnar head resection. These procedures can stabilize the ulna, increase strength, and improve postoperative range of motion.
Aptis Medical | Creators of the Aptis DRUJ prosthesis
The Aptis DRUJ prosthesis is intended to replace the distal radioulnar joint to help resolve pain and weakness caused by arthritis or failed procedures.
Distal Radioulnar Joint Instability: Diagnosis and Treatment
2021年3月24日 · Prosthetic arthroplasty of the distal ulna combined with an appropriate soft-tissue repair is advised to ameliorate pain, function, and strength of the wrist and forearm secondary to instability. Prosthetic replacement restored DRUJ stability after symptomatic partial or complete excision of the ulnar head and resolved the radioulnar impingement.
Treatment Options for Distal Radioulnar Joint Arthritis
In this article, we discuss the anatomy and biomechanics of the DRUJ and the clinical approach to a patient with suspected DRUJ pathology. We also review the surgical treatment options for DRUJ arthritis, the expected outcomes of these procedures, and their respective shortcomings.

31 Systematic Review of Distal Radioulnar Joint (DRUJ) Arthroplasty
2022年5月4日 · Abstract. The distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) is important for normal function and load bearing of the forearm. A number of surgical procedures have been developed to try to treat painful DRUJ disorders; however, these alter forearm biomechanics and can cause painful ulna stump impingement.
