Abstract EN
There is scarce literature describing treatment of volar dislocation of the distal radio-ulnar joint (DRUJ).
Irreducible dislocation is usually treated surgically.
We present the case of a 37-year-old male with acute right wrist pain and loss of pronation.
A diagnosis of volar DRUJ dislocation was made.
Reduction using conventional technique was unsuccessful.
A second attempt was successful by applying pressure over the interosseous membrane of the forearm and manipulating the ulnar head.
At three weeks, the patient had minimal pain, a stable DRUJ, and near complete range of motion.
This modified technique for reduction of a locked anterior DRUJ dislocation can be used to avoid an unnecessary surgical intervention.
