Abstract
Case: We report the case of a 34-year-old woman with a chronic right volar dislocation of the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) and associated ulnar styloid fracture. The patient presented 1 month after a dog bite injury with wrist pain and limited range of motion, and radiographs demonstrated volar DRUJ dislocation. Closed reduction was unsuccessful, and thus, open reduction was performed.Conclusion:Isolated volar DRUJ dislocations in the absence of fractures are easy to misdiagnose on plain radiographs. We present our surgical technique and fixation algorithm for open reduction and stabilization for chronic volar DRUJ dislocations.
