  • A biomechanical study on effect of deep radioulnar ligaments on the distal radioulnar joint rotatory stability repaired by bone suture anchors

    Objective To discuss the role of the bone suture anchors for repair of avulsed deep radioulnar ligaments in maintaining the rotatory stability of the distal radioulnar joint. Methods Nine upper limbs specimens were selected from fresh adult cadavers to make wrist joint-bone capsular ligaments complex specimen. All the specimens were tested under conditions of intact (normal group), deep radioulnar ligaments injury (injury group), and deep radioulnar ligaments injury repaired with anchoring (repair group). The internal and external rotation torque values were recorded in 45° wrist extension, neutral position, and 45° wrist flexion by AG-IS series MS biomechanical testing system. The statistic software was used to compare difference in rotation torque between groups. Results In 45° wrist extension, neutral position, and 45° wrist flexion, the internal rotation torque values in normal group were (0.83±0.33), (0.86±0.34), and (0.36±0.30) N·m respectively; the external rotation torque values were (0.86±0.38), (0.44±0.22), and (0.25±0.21) N·m respectively. The internal rotation torque values in injury group were (0.18±0.17), (0.22±0.17), and (0.16±0.15) N·m respectively; the external rotation torque values were (0.27±0.26), (0.13±0.17), and (0.04±0.04) N·m respectively. The internal rotation torque values in repair group were (0.79±0.34), (0.73±0.33), and (0.41±0.23) N·m respectively; the external rotation torque values were (0.80±0.39), (0.41±0.22), (0.41±0.40) N·m respectively. In 45° wrist extension, neutral position, and 45° wrist flexion, the internal and external rotation torque values in injury group were significantly lower than those in normal group and repair group (P<0.05), but no significant difference was found between repair group and normal group (P>0.05). Conclusion The deep radioulnar ligaments are important structure for maintaining rotatory stability of distal radioulnar joint. Bone anchoring of the avulsed deep radioulnar ligaments to the ulna fovea is critically important in reconstructing function anatomy of the distal radioulnar joint.
