چکیده
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 arthroplasty (Aptis) who had a distal radioulnar impingement secondary to a distal ulnar resection (Darrach) previously performed to treat a fracture-dislocation of the distal radioulnar joint. CONCLUSION This case was the first semiconstrained bipolar distal radioulnar joint arthroplasty (Aptis) performed in México. This treatment is capable of providing provides a stable load-bearing joint.

Outcome Assessment after Aptis Distal Radioulnar Joint (DRUJ) Implant Arthroplasty
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 arthro...
متن کاملThe Scheker distal radioulnar joint arthroplasty to unravel a virtually unsolvable problem.
Failure of the distal radioulnar joint leads to significant dysfunction of the upper limb. Numerous surgical procedures have been suggested to address this problem. In degenerative arthritis, joint instability and ulnar stump dislocation after salvage procedures such as Darrach distal resection or Sauvé-Kapandji distal fusion, an ideal solution may not be available. The ultimate option to resto...
متن کاملIndications for Distal Radioulnar Arthroplasty: Report on Three Clinical Cases
Distal radioulnar arthroplasty is an attractive solution for treating various pathological conditions of the distal radioulnar joint because it allows restoration of stability, load transmission and function. The main indications are: radioulnar impingement after partial or complete resection of the distal ulna; and degenerative, inflammatory or post-traumatic arthritis of the distal radioulnar...
متن کاملDistal 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...
متن کاملArthritis of the distal radioulnar joint: from Darrach to total joint arthroplasty.
The distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) is a complex structure that contributes to full, painless forearm rotation and weight bearing. Stability requires adequate bony architecture and robust soft-tissue support. Arthritis of the DRUJ between the sigmoid notch of the distal radius and the ulnar head can be caused by traumatic, inflammatory, congenital, and degenerative processes. Initial management ...
