The proximal radioulnar joint in consideration of the distal radioulnar joint
The movement of the forearm follows a complex interplay of three main components: the proximal and distal radioulnar joint and the interosseous membrane. Injuries to one or even all components have a huge impact on the integrity of this system. The Essex-Lopresti lesion presented a high challenge in clinical diagnostics as well as therapy. Reconstructions of the length and stability are essential for a satisfactory postoperative outcome. If a reconstruction of the radial head by osteosynthesis is not possible, a radial head prosthesis should be implanted in the case of longitudinal instability - avoiding overlapping and/or oversizing. The reconstruction of the interosseous membrane should be considered, as well as the assessment of the distal radioulnar joint and/or the triangular fibrocartilage complex. Various reconstruction options are available in this regard
