  • Title: Malunion of the ulnar styloid as a cause of ulnar wrist pain.
    Author: Xarchas KC, Yfandithis P, Kazakos K.
    Journal: Clin Anat; 2004 Jul; 17(5):418-22. PubMed ID: 15176041.
    Abstract:
    We present a case of ulnar wrist pain that had been wrongly attributed to non-union of the ulnar styloid. Surgical exploration revealed an ulnar styloid malunion that had caused pain by impinging on the triquetrum and a triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFC) lesion. There was no fracture of the distal radius and no associated carpal instability or disruption of the distal radio-ulnar joint. Treatment by resection of the ulnar styloid and re-attachment of the TFC provided a satisfactory outcome.
