DRF is frequently associated with distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) dislocation, which may be initially overlooked due to subtle symptoms and imaging findings. This can lead to misdiagnosis and suboptimal treatment.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Patient concerns<\/jats:title><jats:p>An elderly female patient presented with a distal radius fracture.
