چکیده

background:  conventional treatments after complicated injuries of the distal radioulnar joint (druj) such as darrach and kapandji-sauvé procedures have many drawbacks, which may eventually lead to a painful unstable distal ulna.  the development of druj prosthesis has significantly evolved over the past years. in this study, we assessed the outcome results of patients after druj implant arthroplasty using the aptis (scheker) prosthesis. methods: we identified 13 patients with 14 prosthesis during the past 10 years. patients underwent druj arthroplasty due to persistent symptoms of instability, chronic pain, and stiffness. records and follow-up visits were reviewed to find the final post-operative symptoms, pain, range of motion, and grip strength with a mean follow-up of 12 months (range: 2-25 months). also, patients were contacted prospectively by phone in order to  minister the disabilities of the armshoulder and hand (dash), patient rated wrist evaluation (prwe), and visual analogue scale (vas), and to interview regarding satisfaction and progress in daily activities. eleven patients out of 13 could be reached with a median followup time of 60 months (range: 2 to 102 months).  results: no patient required removal of the prosthesis. only two patients underwent secondary surgeries in which both required debridement of the screw tip over the radius. the median dash score, prwe score, vas, and satisfaction were 1.3, 2.5, 0, and 10, respectively. the mean range of flexion, extension, supination, and pronation was 62, 54, 51, and 64, respectively. conclusions: distal radioulnar joint injuries are disabling and patients usually undergo one or more salvage surgeries prior to receiving an arthroplasty. the scheker prosthesis has shown satisfactory results with 100% survival rate in all reports. the constrained design of this prosthesis gives enough stability to prevent painful subluxation.

[Semiconstrained bipolar implant arthroplasty of the distal radioulnar joint. Case report].

INTRODUCTION The distal radioulnar joint is of paramount importance for the proper function of the upper extremity. There is a wide variety of procedures for the treatment of its advanced pathology but none of them is capable of providing a stable load-bearing joint. CLINICAL CASE We present the case of a 54 year old man who was treated by a semiconstrained bipolar distal radioulnar joint art...

Distal Radioulnar Joint Arthroplasty with a Scheker Prosthesis

We report a case of distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) arthroplasty with a Scheker prosthesis. Arthropathy of the DRUJ can occur as the result of a variety of mechanisms, including inflammatory arthritis, osteoarthritis, and post-traumatic arthritis. Resection of the distal ulna is often performed to relieve pain at the DRUJ. However, this can also disrupt the stability of the entire forearm, leadi...

Distal Radioulnar Joint Instability

Distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) instability is a common clinical condition but a frequently missed diagnosis. Both surgical and nonsurgical treatments are possible for chronic cases of DRUJ instability. Nonsurgical treatment can be considered as the primary therapy in less active patients, while surgery should be considered to recover bone and ligament injuries if nonsurgical treatment fails to ...

Distal radioulnar joint arthroplasty with implants: a systematic review

A severely painful, dysfunctional, or destroyed distal radio-ulnar joint (DRUJ) can be reconstructed by fusion, interposition of soft tissue, or by arthroplasty using prostheses.The objective of this study was to review the literature on implants and evaluate their effectiveness in terms of pain relief, range of motion and longevity.A search was carried out using protocols and well-defined crit...
