77th ASSH Annual Meeting - Back to Basics: Practice and Education-IC32: Ulnar Wrist Disorders around the DRUJ (AM22)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video transcript introduces the topic of ulnar-sided wrist pain and discusses its anatomy and biomechanics. It emphasizes the importance of thorough examination and imaging to diagnose specific conditions such as TFCC tears or DRUJ arthritis. Treatment options are explored, including debridement, repair, ulnar head replacement, and ulnar shortening osteotomy. The importance of preserving forearm pronosupination and considering long-term complications is highlighted. Overall, the video provides a comprehensive overview of approaching and treating ulnar-sided wrist pain.<br /><br />The video summary focuses on instability in the DRUJ and the use of resection arthroplasty as a treatment option. Causes of DRUJ instability are discussed, including soft tissue injuries, bony injuries, and congenital factors. Various surgical techniques for addressing DRUJ instability are reviewed, including resection arthroplasty options like hemi-resection and the SAVE-cap-hangy procedure. The outcomes of these procedures, potential complications, and the role of ulnar head implants and proximal resection are discussed. The video concludes by highlighting the continued relevance of resection arthroplasty in 2022 but emphasizes the need to assess patient needs and consider other surgical options if necessary.
