Osteoarthritis of Proximal Radioulnar Joint: Computed Tomography-Based Assessment and Associations with Clinical Findings.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although many studies have focused on the degenerative changes of the ulnohumeral and radiohumeral joints in osteoarthritis (OA) of the elbow, the proximal radioulnar joint (PRUJ), which facilitates the pronation and supination motions of the forearm, has not been comprehensively evaluated.

Purpose

To assess the prevalence of PRUJ OA in patients diagnosed with OA of the elbow using computed tomography (CT) images and to establish an association between the CT findings and clinical manifestations.

Study design

Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3.

Methods
