Background: The purpose of this article is to describe the surgical technique used by the authors and the outcome in the treatment of chronic posttraumatic instability of the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ). Methods: A retrospective study was conducted analyzing the medical records of 11 patients with chronic posttraumatic instability of the DRUJ, treated by a foveal reattachment of the triangular fibrocartilage complex with dorsal capsular and extensor retinaculum imbrications between 2016 and 2017, with a follow-up evaluation of 1 year. Results: All patients reported pain relief and the absence of instability, returning to normal activities in 3 to 6 months. Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) questionnaire ranged from 2 to 25, resulting in a mean score of 9.5. Forearm rotation averaged 89° of pronation and 85° of supination. Conclusion: Foveal reattachment of the triangular fibrocartilage complex with dorsal capsular and extensor retinaculum imbrications is an effective surgical procedure for the treatment of DRUJ chronic posttraumatic instability.
