    Abstract
    Growth arrest following paediatric distal radius and ulnar fractures infrequently results in a symptomatic deformity. The distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) plays a complex role in the motion of the wrist, allowing for forearm rotation, and acceptable reconstruction options are limited when severe deformity does occur. We present a case of symptomatic severe post traumatic growth arrest of the distal radioulnar joint which was treated by osteotomy and Scheker total distal radioulnar joint arthroplasty.Growth arrest following paediatric distal radius and ulnar fractures infrequently results in a symptomatic deformity.
