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.
