Abstract

Abstract: Isolated distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) dislocation is a rare injury. Reports of isolated DRUJ luxations, volar or dorsal, are often case reports and rarely a series of cases. We present a case of an isolated acute dorsal dislocation of the distal radioulnar joint in a 25-year-old man. The patient underwent closed reduction and a transcutaneous radioulnar pinning was done followed by cast immobilization in neutral rotation during 6 weeks. After six months follow -up, the functional result was satisfactory, patient experienced no pain and had no restrictions in work or sports-related activities.
