Longitudinal radioulnar dissociation occurs when traumatic axial loading through the wrist disrupts the interosseous membrane (IOM) of the forearm and fractures the radial head (Essex-Lopresti injury). Proximal migration of the radius results in a wrist with a positive ulnar variance, which leads ultimately to painful ulnar-sided wrist degeneration and wrist pain during grasping activities that involve axial loading or ulnar deviation of the wrist. In theory reconstruction of the IOM with a graft substitute can limit proximal migration of the radius, thereby preserving wrist function. The objective of this study was to measure the abilities of 3 graft tissues to limit proximal radial displacement compared with the native IOM in a radial head-deficient cadaver model.
