title: [Post-traumatic lesion of the distal radioulnar joint with disordered forearm pronation].
abstract: Within a period of 14 years in 27 cases operative correction of a traumatic lesion of the distal radioulnar joint has been performed at the University Clinic of Giessen. The follow-up of our results is to be confined to the last ten cases; all efforts to evaluate the outcome of 17 joints having been operated on previously unfortunately have proved to be unfeasible. Different types of corrective operative procedures have been accomplished. Improvement of wrist function, particularly of pronation and supination, was obtained in almost every case.
