Hypothesis: Using Lister's tubercle and the ulnar styloid as landmarks, accurate localization of the distal radioulnar joint can be achieved without the need for an image-guided approach.

Methods: Cadaveric dissection of 16 upper extremities was performed to measure the relationships between the ulnar styloid, Lister's tubercle, and the distal radioulnar joint. In each specimen, the location of the distal radioulnar joint (point A) in relation to Lister's tubercle and the ulnar styloid was determined as follows: (1) the perpendicular distance between the distal radioulnar joint and ulnar styloid-Lister's tubercle was measured; (2) with A' marking the intersection of this distance and the ulnar styloid-Lister's tubercle line, the location of the distal radioulnar joint along the ulnar styloid-Lister's tubercle axis was determined by comparing ulnar styloid-A' and A'-Lister's tubercle with ulnar styloid-Lister's tubercle.
