In this setting, a DRUJ capsular release may help improve forearm rotation, but the long-term functional outcomes remain unknown. The purpose of this case series is to investigate the short-term improvement in total pronosupination arc range of motion and long-term patient-reported outcomes (PROs) after DRUJ capsular release.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods:<\/jats:title>\n We performed a retrospective review of consecutive patients who underwent DRUJ capsular release. Range of motion prior to surgery and at final short-term follow-up was collected and analyzed with a Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Patient-reported outcomes including QuickDASH and Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Upper Extremity (UE) scores were obtained as medians with interquartile range (IQR), while patient satisfaction was measured on a 4-point Likert scale.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n Five patients met the inclusion criteria with a median short-term follow-up of 5.5 (IQR: 4.3-10.3) months. The median preoperative supination was 25\u00b0 (IQR: 0\u00b0-35\u00b0), and the median postoperative supination was 50\u00b0 (IQR: 40\u00b0-60\u00b0;\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = .03). The median preoperative pronation was 45\u00b0 (IQR: 10\u00b0-60\u00b0), and the median postoperative pronation was 70\u00b0 (IQR: 60\u00b0-80\u00b0;\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = .04). After the long-term median follow-up of 10.9 (IQR 9.7-11.2) years, all the patients were satisfied or very satisfied with the results of the surgery. The median QuickDASH score was 13.6 (IQR: 9.1-20.5), and the median PROMIS UE score was 46.5 (IQR: 43.8-47.7).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n Distal radioulnar joint capsular release can improve pronation and supination in patients with posttraumatic forearm stiffness and is associated with high long-term patient satisfaction.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/15589447231207911","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,10]],"date-time":"2023-11-10T01:34:26Z","timestamp":1699580066000},"page":"380-386","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["DRUJ Capsular Release for Forearm Rotational Limitation: Surgical Technique and Case Series"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Kevin","family":"Kooi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, USA"},{"name":"Department of Plastic, Reconstructive, and Hand surgery, Amsterdam UMC, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, The Netherlands"},{"name":"Musculoskeletal Health, Amsterdam Movement Sciences, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Monica M.","family":"Shoji","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jesse B.","family":"Jupiter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8967-9018","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Neal C.","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6086-7015","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rohit","family":"Garg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0363-5023(98)80043-9"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0749-8063(00)90137-3"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.hcl.2010.01.004"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.arthro.2006.04.099"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jhsa.2018.01.006"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jhsa.2017.08.002"},{"issue":"69","key":"e_1_3_2_8_2","first-page":"1","article-title":"The expansion and validation of a new upper extremity item bank for the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System\u00ae (PROMIS)","volume":"3","author":"Kaat AJ","year":"2019","unstructured":"Kaat AJ, Buckenmaier CIII, Cook KF, et al.
