Abstract

Two cases of fresh traumatic anterior dislocation of the ulna at the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) are reported: one is an isolated dislocation and the other with the styloid process fracture of the ulna. In the latter arthrography of the wrist revealed the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) remained intact.Computerized tomography through DRUJ is helpful for the diagnosis of the dislocation. Closed reduction under general anaesthesia failed in both of them. At operation the intact TFCC prevented the dislocated ulna from reduction.
