Background: Stabilization of the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) with reconstruction of distal radioulnar ligaments as outlined by Adams is indicated if a refixation of the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) is no longer possible. There is little information given on the results of these procedures in literature.
Purpose: The purpose of this retrospective study was to analyze with use of objective and subjective criteria, whether the reconstruction of the radioulnar ligaments according to Adams allows a sufficient re-stabilization of the DRUJ.
