Abstract

Purpose

Longitudinal radioulnar dissociation is a triad of injuries consisting of distal radioulnar joint disruption, interosseous ligament complex (IOLC) tear, and radial head fracture. This renders the forearm longitudinally unstable, resulting in proximal migration of the radius and ulnar-sided wrist degeneration. We hypothesized that reconstruction of the central band of the IOLC in cadaver forearms using a Mini-TightRope suture-button construct would restore native forearm stability.
