Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the course and positioning of the extensor pollicis longus (EPL) tendon in relation to nearby structures and its clinical importance in different functional positions.
- Twenty human cadaver arms were examined to measure the EPL tendon’s movement, its wrapping angle around Lister’s tubercle, and its path near other tendons.
- The results indicated significant tendon mobility, highlighting the importance of understanding its anatomy for better diagnosis and surgical treatment of wrist injuries.
Chronic instability of the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) presents a highly disabling condition. Several surgical techniques have been reported for its treatment. These involve reconstruction of the distal oblique bundle (DOB) of the interosseous membrane (IOM) of the forearm.

This correlates with a high burden for the patient and increasing costs. Specific data of complication rates and implant breakage are available in detailed arthroplasty registries, but due to the rare occurrence and possibly underestimated value rarely described in published studies.

Material And Methods: A systematic literature search according to the PRISMA guidelines was performed using the databases PubMed and Embase. The following search algorithm was used: ("DOB" OR "Distal Oblique Bundle") AND "Reconstruction".
Background: This study aimed to compare the functional results between upper (UE) and lower extremity (LE) following arterial reconstruction due to vascular trauma.
Methods: Patients treated for arterial injuries with vascular reconstruction at two centres between 2005 and 2014 were assessed. The physical fitness questionnaire - Fitnessfragebogen (FFB-Mot) - was evaluated.
