Abstract
This study describes a minimally invasive procedure for stabilization of the distal radioulnar joint, using a suture-button construct placed percutaneously in the direction of the distal oblique bundle in the distal interosseous membrane. In five cadaveric specimens, placement of the suture-button suspension system reduced dorsal displacement of the radius in an unstable distal radioulnar joint to baseline values, both in neutral position and in pronation and supination. These results indicate the possibility of minimally invasive treatment for distal radioulnar joint instability.
