distal radioulnar articulation,

the pivotlike articulation of the head of the ulna and the ulnar notch on the lower end of the radius, involving two ligaments. The joint allows rotation of the distal end of the radius around an axis that passes through the center of the head of the ulna. Also called inferior radioulnar joint. Compare proximal radioulnar articulation.

inferior radioulnar joint proximal radioulnar articulation			found that the ulnar rotation was retricted with the small rotation range of the brachioulnar and distal radioulnar joints and allowed a strong radial revolving force during forceful pronation and acted on the ulna. Stress fracture of the ulna in a break-dancer by Chen, Yu-Hsu; Kuo, Chun-Lin; Lin, Leou-Chyr; Wang, Shyu-Jye; Lee, Chian-Her / Journal of Sports Science and Medicine The predominant radiologic findings include triangularization of the distal radial epiphysis with shortening of the ulnar segment, dorsal dislocation of the distal ulna that cannot be easily reduced, pyramidalization of the distal carpal row, shortening and bowing of the distal radius, and widening of the distal radioulnar joint.
