Isolated palmar dislocation of the distal radioulnar joint in a football player.
Palmar dislocation of the distal radioulnar joint without concomitant fracture of the radius or ulna is an uncommon injury. We report one case in a college football player. This case was unusual in that open reduction was required 2 days after the injury because of an unsuccessful closed reduction.
