Treatment of longitudinal forearm instability: Essex-lopresti injury

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter › peer-review

Abstract

Essex-Lopresti injuries comprise a complex injury to the radial head, interosseous membrane, and distal radial ulnar joint (DRUJ). Recognition of this injury is necessary to prevent long-term morbidity secondary to pain, stiffness, and arthrosis that accompany the chronic longitudinal forearm instability associated with missing this diagnosis. Effective treatment is predicated on restoration of a stable radiocapitellar joint restoring radial length. Direct intervention to stabilize the DRUJ is provided on a case-by-case basis. Reconstruction of the interosseous membrane is described, but the necessity to do so and the long-term outcomes from interosseous membrane reconstructions are not clearly established.
