Field-J. Majkowski-R-J. Leslie-I-J. Bristol Royal Infirmary, England. J-Bone-Joint-Surg-Br. 1993 Jan. 75(1). P 53-7. Darrach's procedure was performed for post-traumatic symptoms in the inferior radio-ulnar joint in 36 patients, who were reviewed after a mean follow-up of 6 years. Only 18 of the patients had a satisfactory clinical result. Poor outcome was associated with osteoarthritis of the wrist, the occurrence of algodystrophy and a short ulnar remnant. Author-abstract.
