Coronal sections of the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) were studied in 13 preserved cadaveric wrists specimens before and after 2 mm of shortening of the ulna. The DRUJs were subclassified on the basis of the DRUJ angle and depth of the sigmoid notch. The changes in extent and location of area of contact and radioulnar separation were noted. Although reduction in area of contact occurred in every specimen and DRUJ type, the maximum radioulnar separation and reduction in area of contact occurred in the DRUJ type IB and IIB. This could be a possible factor producing point loading and subsequent occurrence of DRUJ remodelling in the long-term after shortening of the ulna.

Objective: To explore clinical effect of arthroscopic modification of triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) combined with oblique osteotomy shortening of distal ulna in treating ulna impact syndrome.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 49 patients with ulnar impingement syndrome admitted from 2017 to 2021, 3 patients were lost to follow-up, and 46 patients were finally included in study, including 23 males and 23 females, aged from 21 to 53 years old with an average of (36.5±3.
Alternative Management Approach for Infected Gap Non-Union of Both Bone Forearm - A Case Report.

Introduction: Infected gap non-union is a serious complication seen in cases of diaphyseal fracture of forearm bones. It carries high morbidity in the form of severe functional impairment and poses a challenge to treat due to the complex anatomical relationship and articulations involved. Though there are multiple treatment options available, there are no guidelines for its management.

Background: Ulnar shortening osteotomy (USO) is a well-established surgical technique for ulnar impaction syndrome and triangular fibrocartilage complex injuries, but complications like delayed union and nonunion are often encountered. Transverse and oblique osteotomy techniques are commonly used, yet direct comparisons using advanced implants are limited. This study aims to compare the clinical and radiological outcomes of USO using the Jplate with a transverse osteotomy device and the APTUS Wrist Ulna Shortening System 2.

Bilateral ulnar longitudinal deficiency with oligodactyly in newborn.
Rev Paul Pediatr
December 2024
Hospital do Servidor Público Municipal, São Paulo, SP, Brazil.
Objective: The objective of this study was to report a case of bilateral ulnar longitudinal deficiency with oligodactyly in a male newborn.
Case Description: A full-term male newborn, born following an uncomplicated gestation with no abnormalities detected on prenatal ultrasounds, presented upper limb malformations described as shortening of the left forearm and absence of three digits bilaterally upon neonatal physical examination. Diagnostic investigations including X-rays, abdominal ultrasound, head ultrasound, echocardiogram, and karyotype analysis were conducted, facilitating detailed identification of the malformations and exclusion of other anomalies, thereby suggesting the diagnosis of congenital longitudinal deficiency of the ulna.
