Ulnar head arthroplasty has been proposed as a viable therapeutic option, potentially restoring wrist function and improving pain control. This can also be achieved by complete wrist neurectomy but it has several risks associated with the procedure. A selective neurectomy may be more effective.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case Presentation:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We report the case of a 51-year-old man, Tool-Colector, who suffered from constant diffuse left wrist pain aggravated with activities and had a swollen and tender wrist at physical examination with limited range of motion on prono-supination. Radiographic and magnetic resonance imaging showed degenerative changes in the radiocarpal joint and distal radioulnar joint. In order to preserve the remaining mobility and reduce the wrist pain we proceeded with an ulnar head arthroplasty and a posterior interosseous nerve neurectomy, through a single skin incision in the dorso-ulnar side of the wrist. Afterwards, the patient followed a strict rehabilitation program with a hand therapist. Six months later he returned to his previous job with no limitations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Ulnar head arthroplasty seems to be a very good option in the treatment of severe DRUJ arthrosis. It significantly improves pain control while maintains or even improves range of motion. Posterior interosseous nerve neurectomy is a simple technique and highly effective.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Highlights<\/jats:title>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2018.09.017","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,9,17]],"date-time":"2018-09-17T12:51:14Z","timestamp":1537188674000},"page":"340-343","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Ulnar head arthroplasty with posterior interosseous nerve neurectomy"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"51","author":[{"given":"Lu\u00eds","family":"Mata Ribeiro","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Miguel Alves","family":"Botton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-84-20260114","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"415","DOI":"10.1177\/1753193417693177","article-title":"Non-constrained implant arthroplasty for the distal radioulnar joint","volume":"42","author":"Adams","year":"2017","journal-title":"J.
