Abstract

Eight patients with suspected diagnosis of distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) subluxation underwent computed tomographic (CT) scans of the wrist. Five underwent surgery and had DRUJ subluxation or dislocation; CT scans revealed subluxation in four. Three CT criteria for the evaluation of DRUJ subluxation are discussed and compared in this manuscript.
