The Scheker Distal Radio-Ulnar Joint prosthesis is the only prosthesis that replaces all of the functions of the distal radio-ulnar joint, including the sigmoid notch, the ulnar head and the function of the triangular fibro cartilage. This workshop is intended to teach the hand surgeon the technique for application of the Scheker Distal Radio Ulnar Joint prosthesis after Darrach, Sauve-Kapandji, Watson matched resection and Bowers hemi-resection arthroplasty procedures, and primary replacement of the ulna head secondary to arthritis. This workshop will show the pearls and pitfalls possible with this type of replacement.
