The wrist joint is loaded not only while applying a proximally directed load but also, less obviously, while carrying a handbag. Ulnar shortening reduces pressure and relieves pain in the ulnocarpal joint. The present study evaluated the pressure distribution in the wrist joints with ulnar shortening and lengthening when applying traction to the flexed fingers while the fingers were loaded and unloaded. The compressive forces in the loaded wrist were distributed with 67% across the radiocarpal joint and 33% across the ulnocarpal joint. Shortening the ulna by 3 mm increased load in the radius to 80%. Lengthening of the ulna by 1 mm increased its load to 55%. The load share of the distal radioulnar joint was constant even when the ulna was shortened 3–4 mm. It seems advisable to shorten the ulna by 3 mm, since the increased load in the related joints are constant within a range of −2 to −4 mm.

This paper reports a long-term follow-up measuring pain, range of motion and weight-bearing ability, following implantation of a total distal radioulnar joint prosthesis. This prosthesis differs from excision arthroplasties and ulnar head replacements by replacing all three components of the distal radioulnar joint, viz. the sigmoid notch, the ulnar head and the triangular fibrocartilage. The design allows longitudinal migration of the radius throughout pronation and supination, as well as load bearing of the wrist. Thirty-one patients receiving the prosthesis returned or were interviewed by telephone at a mean of 5.9 (range 4–9) years. Pronation increased from a mean of 65.5° (range 5–90°) to 74° (range 20–90°) and supination from 53° (range 5–90°) to 70° (range 20–90°) while greatly diminishing and/or eliminating pain. Grip increased from a mean of 10 kg (22 lbs) to 24 kg (52 lbs). Weight bearing was restored or increased in 29 of 31 patients.
