Abstract
Injury to the interosseous membrane of the forearm typically occurs in conjunction with disruption of the radial head and the distal radioulnar joint. Frequently, the true extent of injury is not initially appreciated, and patients may develop longitudinal instability of the forearm, with wrist pain, forearm discomfort, and instability. This article outlines various treatment strategies, which include considerations at the wrist, forearm, and elbow.
