The distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) is a complex articulation allowing significant rotational and translational motion. Stability of the DRUJ depends on bony contact, intrinsic stabilizers of the triangular fibrocartilage complex, and extrinsic stabilizers of the distal forearm. Understanding the anatomy of this articulation is paramount in clinical decision making for the treatment of disorders involving the DRUJ.
