Abstract

The distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ), the ulnocarpal joint and the ulnar carpus form an functional anatomical complex, as the head of the ulna is an articulated part of DRUJ as well as having a stabilising action and acting as an abutment due to its direct attachment to the triangular fibrocartilage complex. Pain in this area poses a diagnostic problem due to the close proximity of these structures. In addition to describing the standard clinical examination, the major pathologies of these ulnar hand components, their symptomatology and the basis of their therapy are discussed.
