Radial styloid stenosing tenosynovitis is a kind of common chronic motor system injuries, and could lead to joint pain and aggravates with activity, in further makes a great impact on people's daily life. At present, therapeutic methods for this disease could divid into conservative treatment and surgical treatment. What we pay attention to is cure. Conservative treatment could effectively relieve pain and improve wrist motion in acute phase, however, it make little difference on long--term effect and usually cause to reappear. Surgical treatment, as a kind of invasive therapies, is chosen only when facing recalcitrant radial styloid stenosing tenosynovitis with many complications for its high cure rate. The author thought that patient education should play an important role in the therapy of radial styloid stenosing tenosynovitis, comprehensive treatment could be applied according to the different conditions of disease development, and could increase cure disease.

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.

Introduction: Conservative treatment options, such as rest, massage, cold and heat packs, wrist splints, braces, physical therapy, thumb spica casts, and local steroid injections, have been used with mixed results to treat De Quervain's tenosynovitis. Surgical treatment, like releasing the first dorsal wrist compartment, is the last resort for resistant cases of De Quervain's tenosynovitis, exhibiting an efficacy of 91%. However, complications and increased expenses have limited the use of surgical interventions.

Dislocations of the distal radioulnar joint associated with a fracture of the distal ulna articular surface without an associated radial fracture are extremely rare. We present a case of a fracture of the distal ulna with an associated dislocation of the distal radioulnar joint, where the articular head fragment was displaced anterior to the sigmoid notch. We also present the results of a formal systematic review of these injuries which confirmed this is the first such injury described, although there is a very similar fracture pattern described in the literature with dorsal dislocation.

Background: De Quervain's tenosynovitis, characterized by the entrapment of the extensor pollicis brevis and abductor pollicis longus tendons in the first extensor compartment, leads to pain and swelling near the radial styloid. When conservative treatments including rest and antiinflammatory medications fail, surgery is often recommended. This study aimed to compare transverse and longitudinal skin incisions with respect to surgical scars, postoperative pain, and functional outcomes in the open release of the first extensor compartment in radial styloid tenosynovitis.
