Distal radioulnar joint instability.
The distal radioulnar joint is inherently unstable. Pathologic instability can be acute or chronic; it can be dorsal, palmar, or multidirectional; and it can result primarily from soft-tissue injury or osseous malunion. Recognition of the type and cause of instability is fundamental to provide effective treatment.
