- See: Distal RU Joint:

- Surgical Options:
- Hemi-resection Arthroplasty of RU Joint;
- Darrah's Procedure:
- Modified procedure (Bower's)
- Sauve Kapandji
- Complications:
- distal ulna resection can lead to carpal migration and ulnar snapping;
- w/ failed arthroplasty arthrodesis (in neutral or slight dorsiflexion) may
        be required;
- fusion is often favored because of frequent failure of arthroplasty
