SUBLUXATION OF THE INFERIOR RADIO-ULNAR JOINT COMPLICATING FRACTURE OF THE RADIAL HEAD

A. McDougall 1; and J. White 1

1 The Royal Infirmary, Glasgow

1. Dislocation or sublaxation of the inferior radio-ulnar joint in association with fractures of the head of radius is discussed.

2. The incidence of the complication is greater than is generally supposed, and figures are given to support this finding.

3. The subluxation is not always associated with symptoms, and the degree of displacement may not be sufficient to be recognised clinically.

4. The anatomy and mechanism of the displacement have been investigated experimentally, and the results of the experiments are described.
