Description: Chronic volar distal radioulnar joint instability: joint capsular plication to restore function
3280 Hospital Drive NW Calgary AB T2N 4Z6 Conclusion:Joint capsular plication for DRUJ has not yet been described in the litera- ture. It is less elaborate in that it does not require a tendon graft with bone tunnels. The results at an average 16.5 months postoperatively are promising.
