Three cases of chronic volar dislocation of the distal radioulnar joint were treated with the Sauvé-Kapandji procedure. All patients were in their twenties. They visited our clinic complaining limitation of forearm wrist rotation and pain around the wrist for more than 6 weeks after an injury. Radiograph and CT scan revealed chronic volar dislocation of the distal radioulnar joint. Closed reduction failed. The Sauvé-Kapandji procedure was required to prevent the distal radioulnar joint from becoming unstable after open reduction. Range of motion of the injured wrist improved greatly, pain disappeared and they were able to return to sports after the operation and rehabilitation. Therefore, the Sauvé-Kapandji procedure is effective in curing chronic volar dislocation of the distal radioulnar joint.

Case: A 41-year old man fell from height sustaining displaced radial shaft and ulnar styloid fractures underwent open reduction internal fixation of the radius with early recognition of a radiocapitellar dislocation and longitudinal forearm instability in the early postoperative period. Revision surgery was performed 13 days postoperatively involving annular ligament reconstruction, elbow spanning external fixation, and distal radioulnar joint stabilization. Favorable functional and radiographic outcomes are shown at 1-year follow-up.

: Acute isolated distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) dislocations are rare and often misdiagnosed during initial evaluation due to subtle clinical presentation, low index of suspicion, and imaging barriers. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are critical to avoid chronic instability, limited wrist mobility, and osteoarthritis. This systematic review evaluates the functional outcomes of conservative and surgical treatment protocols for acute isolated DRUJ dislocations.

The aim of this study was to define the branching patterns and innervation regions of the superficial branch of the radial nerve and the dorsal branch of the ulnar nerve and to evaluate the distance from 1-2, 3-4, 4-5, midcarpal radial, midcarpal ulnar, dorsal radioulnar joint, 6-radial, 6-ulnar dorsal arthroscopy portals to certain landmarks on the dorsal surface of the hand and wrist. Forty hands and wrists of 20 formalin-fixed intact cadavers without any known pathology, surgical scars or trauma were examined in the Macroscopy Laboratory of Ege University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Anatomy. Arthroscopy portals were placed using a dorsal approach to the wrist in the dissection method.

As a biarticular muscle, the biceps brachii both supinates the forearm and flexes the elbow and shoulder, thus allowing the upper limb to perform a variety of activities of daily living (ADL). The biceps brachii originates on the coracoid apex as well as the supraglenoid tubercle and inserts on the radial tuberosity. At the distal end, the bicipital aponeurosis (BA) provides a transition of the biceps tendon into the antebrachial fascia.
