title: [Functional importance of the m. extensor carpi ulnaris for distal radioulnar articulation].
abstract: Any analysis of the stability of the distal radio-ulnar joint should consider the extensor carpi ulnaris tendon. The static and kinematic function of this tendon depends on its relationship to the sigmoid notch of the radius. Morphological studies indicate the existence of a gliding surface in the sulcus of the tendon on the dorsal side of the ulnar head.
