Abstract
This is a report of the first prosthetic hemiarthroplasty and full arthroplasty, designed and implanted for the distal radioulnar joint in 1988. Two case reports are presented, with follow-up of 24 years. Experience and problems in the design of both a hemiarthroplasty and total prosthetic arthroplasty are described, in the hope that future developments may avoid past failures.
