Twenty-nine patients with thirty-one fractures of the distal radius and persistent pain or disability had computed tomography of the radio-carpal and distal radioulnar joint. We found incongruity of the distal radio-ulnar joint in six patients. Ten patients had a rotational malalignment in supination. Seven patients suffered from rotational malalignment in pronation. The ability to quantify rotational malalignment and to have images of the degenerative arthritis following these disorders without superimposition aids in selecting surgical treatment.

D010003 Osteoarthritis A progressive, degenerative joint disease, the most common form of arthritis, especially in older persons. The disease is thought to result not from the aging process but from biochemical changes and biomechanical stresses affecting articular cartilage. In the foreign literature it is often called osteoarthrosis deformans.
