Abstract

Distal radioulnar joint instability is commonly seen after surgical fixation of a distal radial fracture, and surgeons’ ability to reliably determine stability on examination is poor. Debate remains regarding whether to fix the ulnar styloid or reinsert the triangular fibrocartilaginous complex. Four surgeons with Level 5 expertise were asked to respond to questions surrounding this debate
