Anatomical Study of the Contact Area and Degenerative Change of the Proximal Radioulnar Joint During Forearm Rotation 215 J. St. Marianna Univ. Original Article Vol. 6, pp. 215–224, 2015 Anatomical Study of the Contact Area and Degenerative Change of the Proximal Radioulnar Joint During Forearm Rotation Satoshi Nishimura1, Masahiro Tanaka1, Takeshi Arai1, Hisateru Niki1, and Kazuaki Hirata2 (Received for Publication: August 20, 2015) Abstract Although the articular circumference of the radial head is known to affect lateral stability of the elbow joint, no studies have reported an association between the radial head and radial notch of the ulna, which form the joint. The objective of this study was to investigate, from an anatomical perspective, the association of con‐ tact between the radial head and radial notch of the ulna in the proximal radioulnar joint (PRUJ) with develop‐ ment of cartilage injury during pronation and supination of the forearm. Forty-nine elbows from 26 cadavers were included for systemic anatomical study. After the articular circumference of the radial head and the radial notch of the ulna were divided into 4 and 9 regions, respectively, the presence or absence and severity of carti‐ lage injury were determined. The contact area between the radial head and radial notch of the ulna was 50% smaller with the forearm at the pronated position than at the supinated position. Cartilage injury was observed in the medial region of the articular circumference of the radial head and the distal regions of the radial notch of the ulna. These regions corresponded to the contact area of the PRUJ with the elbow joint extended and the forearm pronated. In this condition, the elbow joint becomes most unstable. The elbow joint lateral support complex is likely to be impinged in the humeroradial joint with the elbow joint extended and the forearm prona‐ ted, suggesting that repeated impingement might induce cartilage injury.

  • Simultaneous Dislocation of the Radial Head and Distal Radio-Ulnar Joint
    Jin et al. BMC Surgery (2020) 20:71 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12893-020-00717-8 CASE REPORT Open Access Simultaneous dislocation of the radial head and distal radio-ulnar joint without fracture in an adult patient: a case report and review of literature Xiang-Yun Jin1† , Wen-Bo Zhao1† , Yu-Qi Dong1* and Yi-Gang Huang2* Abstract Background: Simultaneous dislocation of the radial head and distal radio-ulnar joint without fracture (Criss-Cross Injury) in an adult patient is rarely reported in previous studies. The pathological changes and injury patterns have not been clearly demonstrated. Case presentation: A 26-year-old woman presented with acute pain of the right wrist and elbow after a fall from cycling. Physical examination revealed an unstable elbow and wrist joint. Plain radiographs showed volar dislocation of the radial head and dorsal dislocation of the distal radius without associated fracture, forming a criss- cross appearance of the ulna and radius on the lateral radiograph. MRI images confirmed partial rupture of the proximal interosseous membrane from its dorsal attachment on the radius, as well as partial rupture of the medial collateral ligament. Conservative treatment failed because the radiocapitellar joint and distal radio-ulnar joint could not be simultaneously reduced. Surgical exploration revealed a highly unstable radial head, but the annular ligament was found to be intact. Manual force was applied to reduce the radial head and a percutaneous K-wire was used to stabilize the proximal radioulnar joint with the forearm in full supination. After surgery, the elbow was immobilized in 90° flexion by a long arm cast for 4 weeks.

None had received obvious trauma. The dominant elbow was affected in 14, the other in 12 (mean symptom onset in these 26 elbows 53 years (range 31-63), mean symptom duration 7 years (range 1-20)). Joint fluids (six patients) were non-inflammatory: biopsy (two) showed non-specific synovitis. Radiographic changes occurred in humeroulnar (25/26, 96%), humeroradial (100%), and radioulnar (22/26,- 85%) compartments: uniform narrowing with hypertrophic changes pre- dominated and osseous bodies were common (18/26, 69%). Thirteen had OA elsewhere, notably 2nd/3rd metacarpophalangeal joints (10/16, 62%), knees (6/16, 38%), and hips (5/16, 31%). A good clinical outcome was observed in 22/26 elbows. In our experience symptomatic 'primary' OA of the elbow particularly affects middle aged men, commonly associates with metacarpo- phalangeal OA ('Missouri metacarpal syndrome'), and has a favourable outcome.

  • Chapter 6 the Shoulder, Humerus, Elbow and Radius
    Chapter 6 The shoulder, humerus, elbow and radius Scapulohumeral (shoulder) joint and humerus RADIOGRAPHIC TECHNIQUE Equipment The scapulohumeral joint may be radiographed with the horse standing if a high-output x-ray machine is available. Better-quality radiographs are generally obtained with the horse under general anaesthesia in lateral recumbency. With the horse anaesthetized, positioning is easier and longer exposure times can be used without risk of movement, so a lower output x- ray machine may be used. The radiation hazard to personnel is also reduced. Digital systems, or rare earth screens and appropriate fi lm, are essential due to the high exposures required to penetrate the large muscle mass in this area. A grid is recommended to reduce the effects of scattered radiation, and lead should be placed behind the cassette to limit back scatter. There is less soft tissue to penetrate cranially; therefore it may be necessary to repeat a view with different exposure factors in order to assess both the cranioproximal aspect of the humerus and the more caudally situated scapu- lohumeral joint properly. Alternatively an aluminium wedge fi lter can be used to modify the exposure. For mediolateral radiographs obtained with the horse standing, the cassette should be mounted in a holder and not hand held. Both mediolateral and oblique views are required for a complete assessment of the scapulohumeral joint, and in selected cases arthrography yields valuable additional information. Positioning Mediolateral view standing The forelimb to be examined is positioned next to the cassette and the limb is protracted as much as the horse will comfortably allow, to avoid super- imposition of the left and right shoulder joints (Figure 6.1).
