Description
Summary:Distal oblique bundle (DOB) reinforcement for treatment of post-traumatic bidirectional instability of the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) has previously been reported. The objective of the current study was to assess the incidence of symptomatic graft failure and the need for secondary wrist procedures at a longer follow-up in an updated patient cohort of 27 patients with 28 DOB reinforcement procedures. Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (QuickDASH) and patient-rated wrist/hand evaluation (PRWHE) outcome measures were also evaluated. At median 82 months follow-up, pre- to postoperative QuickDASH score improved from a mean of 62 (SD 14) to 31 (SD 22) (p
