The One-Bone Forearm in Children: Surgical Technique and a Retrospective Review of Outcomes.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe a technique of end-to-end rigid fixation of the distal radius to the proximal ulna. The shortening and radioulnar overlap in this technique yield a high union rate, large corrections, and few complications.

Methods: This retrospective chart review from 2 centers was undertaken in 39 patients (40 forearms) who underwent one-bone forearm operations between 2005 and 2019.

Predictors of Septic Wrist: A Dual-Center 10-Year Review of Risk Factors.

Expeditious and accurate diagnosis of septic wrist arthritis is essential to prevent further cartilage damage, systemic infection, osteomyelitis, and loss of limb. There is limited literature on the incidence and clinical factors that are predictive of septic wrist arthritis. We aimed to investigate the incidence of septic wrist arthritis and identify risk factors and laboratory values associated with septic wrist arthritis.

A Biomechanical Evaluation of the DRUJ After Distal Oblique Bundle Reconstruction.

Purpose: Distal oblique bundle (DOB) reconstruction for distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) instability is an alternative to the Adams 2-incision distal radioulnar ligament reconstruction. The DOB reconstruction offers a single incision and is a technically less demanding procedure requiring a shorter tendon autograft. The DOB and Adams reconstruction may provide similar stability.
