title: A simple distal radioulnar joint orthosis.
abstract: These authors describe an orthosis they have successfully used in their clinic to treat patients with distal radioulnar joint instability. In addition to describing how they fabricate the orthosis, these authors also describe how they determine if the patient needs volar or dorsal support, and how they then incorporate this support into the orthosis - Victoria Priganc, PhD, OTR, CHT, CLT, Practice Forum Editor.
