Official Title: Comparison of Treatment Options for Acute Distal Radioulnar Joint Instability: A Prospective Randomized Control Trial

Brief Summary: This prospective randomized control trial (PRCT) aims to compare the outcome of three treatments for acute distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) injury with instability with or without concomitant distal radius fractures: serial splinting/casting with the hand and wrist in the most stable position for DRUJ reduction vs percutaneous DRUJ fixation with Kirschner wires vs open anatomic foveal repair of Triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC ) ligaments.
