Background: Longitudinal instability of the forearm (the Essex-Lopresti lesion) following
radial head excision may be difficult to detect. This cadaveric study examines a stress test …

Forearm instability results from trauma, which disrupts the radial head, the interosseous
membrane, and the triangular fibrocartilage complex. Inadequate treatment of injuries to …

Forearm instability is a complex problem resulting from traumatic disruption of the forearm
stabilizers: the radial head, the interosseous membrane, and the triangular fibrocartilage …

Longitudinal instability of the forearm resulting from an Essex-Lopresti injury is a surgical
challenge, and no technique has yet met universal success. A new technique is presented …

Excision of the radial head after fracture may be complicated by longitudinal radio-ulnar
instability (Essex-Lopresti lesion) if the forearm interosseous ligament has also been torn. In …

PURPOSE: For severe forearm injuries such as an Essex-Lopresti fracture-dislocation,
functional reconstruction necessitates repair of the interosseous ligament (IOL) to restore …

PURPOSE: Although forearm injuries are accompanied frequently by rupture to the
interosseous membrane (IOM) diagnosis of the extent of IOM injury is difficult. In this study …

Recognition of interosseous membrane disruption associated with radial head injury and
Essex-Lopresti injury is important, especially if radial head excision is contemplated …

The forearm unit consists of the radius and ulna, a complex and interrelated set of joints
(distal radioulnar joint, proximal radioulnar joint) and the soft tissue stabilizers between the 3 …

PURPOSE: Longitudinal radioulnar dissociation may result when compressive load to the
hand causes excessive proximal migration of the radius with interosseous ligament (IOL) …
