The role of arthroscopy in the treatment of lunotriquetral ligament injuries.

abstract：:Resection of the distal ulna for post-traumatic arthritis can lead to an unstable forearm joint through loss of the normal articular contact through the distal radioulnar joint and loss of soft tissue constraint. The resulting convergence instability can lead to residual pain, weakness, and loss of function. Restabili...
